Nguyen Picks Off Hobold
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Three-handed on a board of J♥Q♠2♠4♠, Dalton Hobold bet 6,500 from the big blind and Loc Nguyen called in the cutoff. Another opponent in the small blind folded as Hobold and Nguyen went heads-up to the river.
The dealer turned over the 3♥ and Hobold now fired out 18,500. Nguyen took his time before calling as Hobold showed A♠9♥ for a bluff. Nguyen had K♣J♦ for a pair of jacks to win the big pot.
Juan Endara, who doubled up in a massive pot against Hobold in the last level, has steadily increased his stack since, while Jon Cohen, sitting with his dog, is also at this table.
