Borovetz Knocks Out Nguyen for Chip Lead
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
H Borovetz opened to 29,000 from early position and was called by several players to see a flop of 4♥Q♣9♠.
Borovetz continued for 55,000 and the action folded to Son Nguyen on the button who raised to 155,000 but then Borovetz responded by ripping his whole stack of 650,000 into the middle. Nguyen made the call to put himself at risk and they were off to the races.
Son Nguyen: A♦Q♦
H Borovetz: K♥K♠
Borovetz was in good shape with his kings, but Nguyen could still hit an ace or queen for the win. Unfortunately for him, the runout of 5♦10♥ did not do it and he was eliminated.
"Yeah!" Borovetz exclaimed and clapped his hands together as the monster pot was shipped his way to rocket him into the chip lead.
