No Duck on the River for The Master

Men 'The Master' Nguyen has enjoyed a good start to today's proceedings, although he has experienced his fair share of ups and downs.

Earlier on he eliminated a foe with {Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs} versus {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} on a {2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs} board.

However, he did suffer a hit at one point, doubling up Eric Husler in the process. After calling The Master's 300 preflop raise, Husler check-raised all in on an {8-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{6-Hearts} board.

"I have nothing, but I want to call you," announced The Master as he revealed a lowly {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}. Husler showed {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}, which subsequently survived a duck-less {5-Diamonds} turn and {10-Diamonds} river.

Nguyen now on circa 7,000 in chips.
