Nguyen Doubles Through Maruya
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Grant Maruya raised to 200,000 from the cutoff. Wo Lin called on the button before Andrew Nguyen chose to go all-in for 965,000 from the big blind. Maruya called, and Lin folded to put Nguyen at risk.
Andrew Nguyen: K♦Q♦
Grant Maruya: A♠K♣
Nguyen was in trouble against Maruya preflop, but the flop was a welcome sight for Nguyen when it came K♠2♠Q♣ to give him two pair.
The 6♠ turn gave Maruya several more outs to score the elimination, but the 7♦ river bricked to award Nguyen the double.
