McEwan Slows Down Turbo
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
There was big action on a board reading Q♣8♠3♣Q♦ and a pot of 760,000 in the middle. From the cutoff, Turbo Nguyen bet 450,000. Matthew McEwan was in the hijack and took a few moments before he moved all in for 1,055,000.
Nguyen went diving into the tank as he counted out his chips and told the table he was doing some math in his head. He separated the chips into different piles, while doing the accounting. After a couple of minutes he eventually laid it down.
He claimed to have had the A♣3♣ even though there was already a 3♣ on the board and that the price was not quite good enough to make the call for him.
