Gierse Takes Over the Lead After Massive Coin Flip
Level 20
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Minh Quang Nguyen raised to 100,000 in early position and Marius Gierse three-bet to 300,000 in the cutoff. The action folded back to Nguyen who four-bet ripped all in for just over 1,700,000. Gierse quickly called and the cards were face up.
Minh Quang Nguyen: A♥K♣
Marius Gierse: Q♥Q♣
It was a huge coin flip for a massive pot and the flop of J♥9♣7♥ favored Gierse with the pocket queens. The 3♥ on the turn gave Nguyen the better of the two flush draws but the 2♣ on the river bricked out. Gierse scooped a massive pot and jumped into the chip lead while eliminating Nguyen.
