Nguyen Bounces Back

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 0 ante

Just when we thought Sean Nguyen was on a downswing he is starting to battle his way back.

Matthew Elsby raised from the small blind and Nguyen called from the big blind. The flop ran out {10-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. Elsby led out, Nguyen raised, and Elsby called.

The {3-Spades} showed up on the turn. Elsby checked, Nguyen bet, Elsby raised, and Nguyen called. The final card to come out was the {5-Clubs} on the river. Elsby checked again, Nguyen bet, and Elsby called.

Elsby flipped up {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and Nguyen showed {10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. Nguyen increased his chip stack to 650,000.

Nguyen Continues to Falter

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 0 ante

Sean Nguyen raised from the cutoff and was called by John Myung from the big blind. The flop of {J-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} was filled with much action as Myung checked to Nguyen who fired a bet. Myung raised and Nguyen shoved out a three-bet. Myung made the call and we saw a turn of {8-Hearts}. Once again Myung checked, but this time he only called the bet of Nguyen.

The {6-Diamonds} on the river caused the players to go check-check. Myung flipped over the {K-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a rivered flush and he scooped the pot. This hand brought Nguyen up to 665,000 and dropped Nguyen to 440,000
