Nguyen Makes Big Lay Down
Level 7
: 150/300, 25 ante
We came to Soi Nguyen's table as he was contemplating a raise from his opponent preflop. Nguyen had made it 2,175, and his opponent made it 4,800. Nguyen tanked for a couple minutes before making the call. The flop came out 
, and his opponent checked to Nguyen, who bet 6,800. His opponent moved all in for 7,000 more, and Nguyen went deep into the tank. About three minutes later, he folded, telling the player that he had Ace-King. The table started to beg him to show, joking that the hand wouldn't go on the internet if he didn't! Finally, after a few more seconds of convincing, the player showed 
, making Nguyen's fold that much more impressive. Nguyen is still sitting fine, with around 12,000.
