Nguyen Builds Further
Level 8
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
In a blind-on-blind pot to the 3♠4♠8♦ flop, Christopher Nguyen checked before he raised Derk van Luijk's bet to 11,000. Van Luijk called, and did so too when Nguyen sized up to 15,000 on the 10♠ turn.
The 8♣ river saw Nguyen bet a hefty 50,000. Van Luijk mulled it over a bit before deciding to call it off. Nguyen tabled J♠8♠ for a flush, besting the 8♥7♥ of Van Luijk and eclipsing three starting stacks.
