Nguyen Doubles Twice

On the first hand back from break, Baothang Nguyen raised in middle position. Jason Manger called from the small blind, and Nguyen's last T1,000 chip went in the middle after the flop fell {7-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}. Manger called.

Manger{a-Spades}{3-Hearts}
Nguyen{10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

The turn and river came {k-Clubs}, {10-Diamonds} respectively and Nguyen doubled.

A few hands later, Nguyen limped in from the small blind, and Paul Berende raised from the big. Nguyen called, and the flop came {5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{k-Spades}. Nguyen led, Berende raised enough to put Nguyen all in, and Nguyen called.

Nguyen{5-Spades}{4-Spades}
Berende{a-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

The {j-Spades} on the turn gave Nguyen a flush, and he dodged a fourth spade when the {q-Hearts} completed the board, doubling him to about 55,000 chips.
