Long Nguyen Withstands Long Tank, Long Wins

Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante

With the board reading {3-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, Long Nguyen pushed all-in for 5,200 chips, and was met with a protracted staredown from his unknown opponent. After more than two minutes had passed, the tanker, who had more than enough chips to cover the bet, had the clock called on him.

After thinking it over for another 30 seconds or so, the player grabbed a handful of chips and made the call with his {J-Hearts}{J-Spades} for an overpair to the board.

Nguyen had him beat, however, with his {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades} and a clean run out later he secured a much needed double up. Nguyen now sits with just under 15,000 in his stack, and was seen using those chips aggressively in the next pot.
