Just an orbit after doubling through Justin Bonomo, Men "The Master" Nguyen did it again. This time through Jeremiah DeGreef.

Nguyen's preflop raise got called by DeGreef from the button and Tony Antonius from the small blind. On a flop of {Q-Diamonds}

, Nguyen bet 80,000 and only DeGreef called. The two went heads up to the turn, where Nguyen counted out his remaining chips and then checked the {A-Clubs}

. DeGreef wasted no time pushing all in and almost cringed when Nguyen announced "All you can eat, baby."

DeGreef tabled {Q-Spades}

and Nguyen turned over {A-Spades}

for three of a kind. When the {4-Clubs}

hit the river, Nguyen took the pot and is now up to around 380,000.

Bonomo Tries to Help a Friend

donpeters

Justin Bonomo raised to 32,000 from the button and then Men "The Master" Nguyen moved all in from the small blind for 90,000. Matt Graham jumped up and announced that he was running to the bathroom as action fell back on Bonomo. Jack Schanbacher also went to the bathroom. In an attempt to stall for their bathroom break, Bonomo tanked so Graham wouldn't have to miss a hand.

About 30-40 seconds later, Graham and Schanbacher came running back into the room. "You have no idea how good a friend I am," said Bonomo and then made the call.

Showdown:
Nguyen: {K-Diamonds}

Bonomo:

Schanbacher mentioned that Graham told him in the bathroom that Bonomo probably has aces.

The flop was huge for Nguyen when it came {K-Clubs}

. The turn was the {4-Spades}

and then the river the {9-Hearts}

. The Master doubled up, but didn't say too much about the slowroll from Bonomo. Bonomo looked at Graham and said, "I hate you," jokingly and then explained that he did it so Graham wouldn't have to miss a hand.
