Nguyen Gets River Value
Level 3
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Vincent Pistorino raised to 2,500 in the small blind, and Jason Nguyen defended his big blind to see the 9♠6♣A♥ flop.
Pistorino checked to Nguyen, who slid out a bet of 1,500. The call was made, and Pistorino checked again on the 9♣ turn.
Nguyen sized up to 4,200, with Pistorino calling and checking one last time on the J♠ river. Nguyen took a moment before betting 11,2000.
Pistorino counted out the call and tossed the chips into the middle. Nguyen showed A♠Q♠ for two pair with a queen kicker, taking down the pot as Pistorino showed A♦ while mucking his other card.
