Nguyen Opts to Gamble

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

"Alright, let's gamble," we heard the animated Kenny Nguyen say.

We made our way over to discover he had just called an opponent's all-in shove for approximately 20,000, which was about half of Nguyen's stack.

Nguyen: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Opponent: {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}

It was a bit of a gamble as Nguyen was in a race situation. Fortunately for him, the {k-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} flop delivered him a pair of kings and the lead. Neither the {J-Spades} turn nor {3-Hearts} river helped the all-in player, and Nguyen was pushed the pot.
