Nguyen Gains Much-Needed Chips
Level 40
: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Phuoc Nguyen’s chip stack has been on a roller coaster ride, and he found himself as a short stack in Level 40.
He decided to make a stand by moving all in while under the gun for his remaining 9,300,000.
Ha Duong, who covered Nguyen, called and the rest of the players folded.
Phuoc Nguyen: K♣Q♣ 
Ha Duong: A♦2♦
Nguyen was behind, but received a favorable flop when the dealer fanned 6♣3♣5♦, giving him a flush draw. Nguyen got there when 2♣ showed up on the river, and 9♠ on the river officially gave him the winning hand.
