Wicked Nguyen of the West

Notepad in hand, I watched inquisitively as Men Nguyen called a bet of 3,200 on a dangerous {9-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} board. His opponent checked, albeit after a dwell, the {J-Clubs} river, at which point Nguyen announced a bet of 8,000. His opponent relinquished his hand.

"A-J?"

Nguyen released a devilish shriek of laughter. "It's OK, I'll let you watch it on TV to see what I got."

"I almost pushed the river,"

Nguyen shrieked again, like the Wicked Witch of the West. "If you push river, you probably got it."

Nguyen back up to 30,000.
