Nguyen Cracks Kings to Survive
Level 7
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Geoffrey Mooney raised to 1,500 in early position and Khanh Nguyen called on the button. Joe Hindry then three-bet to 6,500 and Mooney folded, but Nguyen put in his last 9,600 as Hindry quickly called to put him at risk.
Khanh Nguyen: J♣8♣
Joe Hindry: K♥K♠
The 5♣Q♠6♣ flop gave Nguyen a flush draw, while the 9♦ turn also gave him outs to a straight. The river was the 9♣ and Nguyen made his flush to win the pot and double up.
