Nguyen Vaults to a Big Stack
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Towards the end of the previous level, Nang Quang Nguyen had doubled through Sung Joo Hyun in a larger pot when his 
had flopped a set of deuces on the 
. They only got it in after the river with Hyun showing the 
as Nguyen doubled for 37,800.
Once the blinds went up, a raising war broke out between Nguyen and Hyun Sup Kim. He had made it 18,500 to go already only for Kim to reraise to 40,000. Nguyen tanked, then jammed and Kim literally beat him into the pot.
Hyun Sup Kim: 
Nang Quang Nguyen: 
The 
board gave Nguyen a set of tens and significant stack size.
