Big Stacks

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Nguyen Hanging In

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Tam Nguyen has spent most of the latter part of Day 1c short stacked, but he continues to win all in showdowns to keep his tournament hopes afloat.

Nguyen's latest double cam with Nguyen in middle position, shoving preflop and getting a call from the button.

Tam Nguyen: {k-Spades}{8-Spades}
Button: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Board: {8-Hearts}{a-Spades}{8-Clubs}{q-Spades}{9-Spades}

The button was covered by Nguyen and started to make his exit as soon as the flop hit, with trip eights coming in for Nguyen. In the aftermath of the hand Nguyen is up to 60,000 and still in the hunt for a possible bag at the end of the night.

Sweeney Approaching 400k

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The button opened to 5,000, Dan Sweeney three-bet to 17,000 from the small blind, and the button called.

Sweeney bet 15,000 on the {8-Clubs}{k-Spades}{7-Spades} flop, and the button called.

Sweeney bet 28,000 on the {7-Diamonds} turn, and his opponent folded. Sweeney, who won the Parx Big Stax 300 earlier this week, is holding one of the biggest stacks in the room as Day 1c of the Big Stax 500 winds down.

Wright Correctly Calls Sweeney

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Kevin Wright opened to 5,500 on the button, and Dan Sweeney called in the big blind.

Both players checked the {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}{q-Hearts} flop. Sweeney check-called a 7,000 bet from Wright on the {5-Spades} turn.

Sweeney led out for 13,500 on the {k-Diamonds} river, and Wright snap called. Sweeney immediately mucked, and Wright showed down {k-Hearts}{2-Spades} for a rivered top pair.

Middle Position: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Board: {6-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{j-Clubs}
