Liang Puts Nguyen in Tough Spot to Take Lead
Level 40
: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Michael Liang raised to 6,000,000 on the button and Duc Nguyen three-bet to 17,000,000 from the big blind. Liang made the call.
The flop came 9♦Q♠10♦, Nguyen bet 8,000,000 and Liang called, bringing the J♣ turn.
Nguyen bet 8,000,000 again and after a moment of thought, Liang moved all in for 89,600,000.
Nguyen went deep into the tank, shaking his head, looking back at his cards, and studying the board.
After several minutes, Nguyen eventually folded A♦Q♦ face up, and the pot was pushed towards Liang, propelling him into the lead in the heads-up match.
