Nguyen Bets Big on River
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
On a three-way flop of 2♣A♥A♦, all players checked around to see the K♦ appear on the turn. The first player checked once more, then James Malcolm took a stab at it for 8,000 and Joe Nguyen made the call while the other player got out of the way.
The river came the 6♣ and Malcolm decided to check over to Nguyen, who thought for a second before setting out a large bet of 33,000.
Malcolm went briefly into the tank before he made the call, but then Nguyen showed him A♣Q♠ for trip aces, queen kicker, and Malcolm quickly mucked.
