Nguyen Almosts Makes the Hero Call
Level 37
: Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Sebastian Crema limped in from the button before Jason Nguyen raised to 3,500,000. Crema called, and they saw a flop of 9♠4♥2♣.
Nguyen checked over to Crema, who bet 2,700,000. Nguyen called to see the A♥ turn, where he led out for 4,500,000. Crema called.
Nguyen checked the 9♣ river, and Crema bet 6,800,000. Nguyen tanked for several minutes before folding, and Crema showed 10♥6♥ for a bluff.
"I swear to God, I almost called with jack-high," Nguyen said.
