Nguyen Wins the Flip

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Andy Debrito raised from under the gun and it folded to Nathan Nguyen in the small blind. Nguyen moved all in for 94,000 and Debrito called.

Nathan Nguyen: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Andy Debrito: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

It was a classic coinflip situation with Nguyen at risk for his tournament life. Nguyen stood up from his chair and said, "One time!" just as the dealer fanned the {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}{3-Hearts}.

Nguyen's "one time" did the trick as he spiked his ace in the window to take the lead. The turn {8-Spades} and river {8-Hearts} were no help to Debrito and Nguyen doubled his stack.
