Strelitz Wins Flip to Double Through Nguyen
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Mihai Manole had opened and Tommy Nguyen three-bet in the hijack to 170,000. Daniel Strelitz in the big blind four-bet all in for 1,215,000 and Manole folded. Nguyen asked for a count and used four time banks before tossing in a single chip for the call.
Daniel Strelitz: 
Tommy Nguyen: 
It was a classic flip and Strelitz took the lead on the 
flop. Running straight outs for Nguyen were shut down on the 
turn as Strelitz improved to trips kings, and the 
river changed nothing whatsoever to keep Strelitz in contention.
Nguyen, who had started the day as the chip leader, suddenly dropped to fewer than 20 big blinds.
