Nguyen and Chen Double Before Break

Level 34 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

James Carroll opened to 450,000 from early position and Jimmy Chen shipped all in for 2,400,000 from the big blind. Carroll made the call and tabled {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} against Chen's {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}. The flop came {k-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and Chen took the lead by pairing his king. The turn was the {q-Clubs} and the river was the {q-Spades} as Chen earned himself a double-up.

At the other table, Shyam Srinivasan raised to 450,000 from early position and Tommy Nguyen called from the big blind. The flop came {9-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Nguyen check-called a bet of 300,000 from Srinivasan.

The turn was the {4-Diamonds} and Nguyen checked again. Srinivasan splashed in a bet of 800,000 and Nguyen check-raised all in for 2,825,000. Srinivasan tossed in a single chip to signify a call and tabled {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}. Nguyen showed {9-Spades}{5-Spades} for a pair and a straight draw.

The river was the {7-Hearts} and Nguyen completed his straight to send Srinivasan into a frenzy. "Are you fucking kidding me?!" he yelled to his friend on the rail. Srinivasan threw his hat on the ground and his backpack into the hallway as Nguyen stacked the chips.

The remaining players are taking a 15-minute break in the action.
