Nguyen Falls to Wantman on Money Bubble
Level 17
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Matthew Wantman opened from the hijack and Turbo Nguyen three-bet jammed a stack of 37,000 on the button. Wantman called with a bigger stack.
Turbo Nguyen: 10♣10♠
Matthew Wantman: K♠J♣
An elimination at another table meant that Nguyen was at risk of bubbling. The flop of J♠5♦9♥ gave Wantman a big lead.
"Life is good no matter what, guys," Nguyen said before the runout of 3♠K♦ improved Wantman to two pair to mark Nguyen's elimination on the bubble.
"Stone bubble. Good game," Nguyen said as he left.
