Nguyen Catches Hawker's Bluff

Bruce Nguyen
Bruce Nguyen
Bruce Nguyen raised under the gun to 7,200 and Matt Hawker made the call on the button to see a flop of {6-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{7-Spades}.

Both players checked and the free card on the turn was the {2-Hearts}. Nguyen led out for 11,000 but was met with a raise to 31,000 from Hawker. Nguyen made the call and the river arrived the {8-Clubs}.

Nguyen checked and Hawker fired 29,000 into the middle. Nguyen made the call and Hawker sheepishly flipped over {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs} for the airball as Nguyen's {A-Clubs}{9-Spades} was good.

Nguyen's nice call nets him a big pot to move up to 334,000 as Hawker slips to 47,000.
