Townsend Gets Lucky to Double Through Nguyen
Level 15
: 2,000/4,000, 400 ante
Wade Townsend raised to 9,500 from the hijack only to be reraised to 23,400 by Greg Debora in the cutoff. Xuan Nguyen then smooth-called from the small blind and Townsend moved all in for 188,300 total. Debora folded and action was back on Nguyen, who hit the tank for three minutes. A call would constitute most of his chips and that is what he did:
Nguyen: 
Townsend: 
Nguyen made a good call but was not reward as the flop fell 
. Townsend hit his set to take a big lead and remained there as the 
hit the turn followed by the 
on the river. Townsend doubled on the hand to around 450,000 while Nguyen was left with just 22,000.
