Seem Holds to Double

Chad Holloway

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

A player in middle position limped only to have Vidhi Seem raise all in for 51,000 from the lojack. The player in the hijack tossed in a single chip to signify a call, and action folded back to the limper, who got out of the way.

Nguyen Sets Up Navarro to Double Into the Chip Lead

Chad Holloway

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Just before the level went up, Valentin Navarro had been playing an aggressive game, often over-betting pots by moving all in, and for a while it was working like a charm. That all came to a sudden halt however at the hands of Tiffany Nguyen.

There was around 30,000 in the pot and a flop of when Nguyen checked from the big blind. Another player did the same before Navarro bet 25,000. Nguyen called and the other player got out of the way.

Nguyen then checked for the second time on the turn. Navarro went for his patented over-bet shove but this time Nguyen snapped him off putting in her remaining 281,000.

Tiffany Nguyen:
Navarro:

Nguyen had flopped bottom set and was guaranteed to double as Navarro was drawing dead with ace high. The river made it official, and Nguyen pulled in a chip-leading pot worth 645,000.

Navarro was left with 120,000 after the hand but went bust a short time later.

Player	Chips	Progress
Tiffany Nguyen	640,000 320,000	320,000
Valentin Navarro	Busted
