Nguyen Not Going Gently

[user75032]

A few moments ago Scotty Nguyen wailed, "Oh man! What am I doin'?"

What he's doing is prolonging his match against Phil Ivey. He just doubled up in back-to-back hands again. First, his {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{9-Spades}

flopped a full house against Ivey's {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{J-Hearts}

,

{9-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

{2-Clubs}

. No runners for Ivey meant thep ot went to Nguyen.

Just a few hands later Nguyen was all in again. This time Ivey's {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{2-Hearts}

had a slight edge over Nguyen's {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{J-Spades}

. But again Nguyen out-flopped Ivey, {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

{2-Clubs}

. Nguyen caught two pair with a turn {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

and took the pot after the river blanked {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

.

It's unclear at this point who has more chips, but after so many double-ups the match has to at least be close.
