Nguyen Doubles Through Antumes
Wendy Nguyen started the action by raising to 10,000 from middle position and Lucia Antunes three-bet to 35,000 from the cutoff. Nguyen made the call and the players went heads-up to the flop.
The dealer placed the J♦5♦10♥ and Nguyen checked. The dealer thought Nguyen had said all in and threw the all in button towards Nguyen. The players at the table quickly correct him, and he pulled the button back. Antunes bet 35,000 and Nguyen did move all in for around 167,000. Antunes made a swift call and the players turned their cards.
Wendy Nguyen: Q♦10♣
Lucia Antunes: Q♣9♣
Nguyen was ahead with a pair of tens, but Antunes had some outs with an open-ended straight draw
The turn brought A♦, not improving Antunes, and the 5♠ river sealed the double for Nguyen.
