Xuan Nguyen Advances

Xuan Nguyen has won the match with Joe Le in a 2-1 result.

On the final hand Nguyen held {K-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} against Le's {K-Clubs}{3-Spades}. The board ran out {K-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and Xuan Nguyen is through to the quarter finals!

Nguyen vs Le - The Battle Continues

Xuan Nguyen had Joe Le down to a short stack after Nguyen's set of fives were good against Le's middle pair.

However Le was able to turn things around winning a race a few hands later with {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. Once again Nguyen held pocket fives, but the board ran out {2-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{10-Spades}{J-Spades}{8-Hearts} to give Le a double up to reclaim the lead once again!

These two are playing some high quality, intense heads-up poker and are not willing to give an inch to their opponent!

Xuan Nguyen Levels At 1-1

Xuan Nguyen has tied the series with Joe Le at 1-1 as we head towards a decider!

Joe Le Goes 1-0

In an epic heads-up contest, Joe Le finally found a decent hand to call the shove of Xuan Nguyen. Le had {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} and Nguyen was in trouble with his {Q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}.

The board arrived {7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and Le was ecstatic to finally win the match and take a 1-0 lead!

Alexey Popov Advances to Quarter Finals!

Alexey Popov and Justin Schwartz had been waiting for a big hand to collide with, and after Schwartz moved his short stack into the middle, Popov looked down at {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades} and made an easy call. Schwartz flipped over {K-Spades}{9-Clubs} and would need some help.

However the board arrived {5-Spades}{A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} and Popov wins the match 2-1 to advance to tomorrow's quarter finals!

Joe Le Doubles Twice

Joe Le was short-stacked against Xuan Nguyen but has just doubled up twice to get back to nearly even once again!

Le doubled with {A-Clubs}{5-Spades} vs Nguyen's {K-Hearts}{8-Spades} when he spiked two pair, and Le then had his pocket tens hold against Nguyen's pocket threes!

Nguyen v Le Still At 0-0

Xuan Nguyen and Joe Le are enjoying the deeper stacks that round three has given them and are playing plenty of small ball poker. At the moment they are still tied at 0-0.
