Nguyen Leads!
Level 23
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Natan Chauskin made it 42,000 and Thi Xoa Nguyen three-bet to 86,000.
Chauskin called and the flop came down 
. Both players checked and Chauskin tapped the table again after the 
turn was revealed. Nguyen led for 104,000 and Chauskin check-raised, making it 246,000.
"Will you show if I fold," asked Nguyen. "I have a big hand."
Chauskin remained mute and a minute later, Nguyen shoved in. Chauskin folded.
A hand or two later, Nguyen check-raised over a Benjamin Pollak bet, three-handed on a 
flop, forcing two folds to move up to two-million chips and into the lead.
