Two More For Nguyen

From the button Joe Cassidy limp-called Scotty Nguyen raised giving us another flop. The flop came down {4-Hearts}{J-Spades}{9-Spades} and Nguyen check-called a bet.

The turn was the {8-Clubs} and Nguyen check-called another bet. The river was the {K-Clubs} and both players checked. Nguyen showed {K-Spades}{4-Clubs}{A-Spades}{2-Hearts} and took down this pot.

On the very next hand it was Nguyen who limp-called the button and we got to see a {3-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Spades} flop. Cassidy bet, Nguyen raised and Cassidy folded.

Two pots in a row for Nguyen who is back up to over a million.

After the first 15 minutes in which Scotty Nguyen managed to win numerous pots it's now back on Joe Cassidy who took a big one down.

From the button Cassidy limped and Nguyen opted to check his option. The flop came down {4-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Nguyen check-raised. Cassidy called.

The turn was the {2-Spades} and Nguyen bet 120,000, Cassidy raised and Nguyen called. On the river the {K-Clubs} showed up and Nguyen check-called a 120,000 chip bet.

Cassidy took half Nguyen's chips and is well in the lead again.
