Nguyen Spikes Turn to Double Through Turner

Level 28 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

On a three-way flop of Q310, Elias Travis checked, James Allen Turner bet 500,000, and then Francis Nguyen moved all in for 1,200,000.

Travis quickly got out of the way but Turner thought about it for some time, using a time bank before he shrugged and tossed in a call chip.

Francis Nguyen: KJAll in
James Allen Turner: JJ

Turner was in the lead with his pocket jacks, but the turn came the A to immediately give Nguyen the nut straight. Only a king could chop the pot, but the river was another A to award the pot to Nguyen.

Level 28 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
James Allen Turner
James Allen Turner

On a flop of 659, James Allen Turner and Elias Travis had a back-and-forth betting war before all of the chips got into the middle, with Turner at risk.

"Yeah, I'm gonna need some help," Turner admitted as he flipped over his cards.

James Allen Turner: 74All in
Elias Travis: Q4

"Wow, queen-high is good right now," Turner said as he shook his head.

The runout of 5K failed to provide any improvements to either player, which meant Travis took the pot with queen-high while Turner exited in ninth place.
