Nguyen Wins Against Le
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
The hand began when Kim Le raised to 60,000 from under the gun and faced an all-in raise by Toan Nguyen (CA) in the big blind for 100,000 even. Le made the call to put Nguyen at risk.
Toan Nguyen (CA): K♣K♠
Kim Le: A♣Q♣
Nguyen had the goods as his pocket kings needed to fade an ace as an immediate threat.
The flop fanned out 2h3c5d] to give Le some additional straight outs, but the J♦ turn and the 9♦ river did not provide any drama as Nguyen dragged in the chips.
