Nguyen Doubles Through Wang
Level 13
Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better
Cards were on their back in an all-in hand between Scotty Nguyen and Yong Wang, with Nguyen the player at risk.
Scotty Nguyen: A♦A♣10♦2♥
Yong Wang: K♣J♠8♠Xx
Wang was ahead with a king-high straight on a board reading 9♣10♥9♥Q♥, with Nguyen drawing very thin.
With one card to come, Nguyen would need to spike an ace or a nine to stay alive and to his surprise, and Wang's disappointment, the A♥ hit the river, giving him the full house and the double-up and leaving Wang with less than starting stack left.
