Nguyen Wins Bounty with 7k Stack
"Look, I have 7,000 left but I can still win a bounty!" Will Nguyen Said to PokerNews as he gestured to another player who only had 4,000 left.
Sure enough, the shorter-stacked player moved all in blind the next hand and was called by most of the table, including Nguyen, until a big stack moved all in to cover. The rest of the players quickly got out of the way and the three hands were tabled.
Player 1: A♥J♦
Will Nguyen: J♥6♥
Player 2: A♠6♠
Player 1 actually woke up with the best hand, but the flop of 8♦6♣3♣ gave both Nguyen and Player 2 a pair of sixes, with the latter holding the superior kicker.
Miraculously, the turn was the J♠ to give Nguyen two pair for the lead and the river 9♠ was a blank to score him the pot along with the bounty for an octuple-up!
