Nguyen Nets A Big Double Up

Action started with a player raising it up to 5,200 in early position. Action folded to Kennii Nguyen on the button, and he three-bet to 12,000. After Glafiro Valle tank folded in the big blind, it was back on the original raiser. He moved all in having Nguyen covered, and Nguyen snap called.

Nguyen: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Opponent: {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Nguyen had his opponent demolished heading to the flop, which came down {6-Spades}{9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. The {q-Diamonds} on the turn gave Nguyen's opponent a shot at the miracle runner runner suck out, but the river brought the {9-Diamonds}. Nugyen stood up from his chair, clapped his hands, and told us "I asked for a double up before the cards were dealt. Did you see that? Did you see that?" An excited Nguyen collected the chips, upping his stack to over 150,000.
