Nguyen Out Kicks Kolev for Double

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
Thuy Nguyen

Boris Kolev raised from middle position and then called the 990,000 three-bet jam Thuy Nguyen made from the button.

Boris Kolev: {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Thuy Nguyen: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

Nguyen had Kolev dominated but the {k-Spades}{5-Clubs}{k-Clubs} flop did give both players trips, giving Nguyen a little sweat.

The {4-Clubs} turn didn't change a thing and luckily for Nguyen, neither did the {j-Hearts} river and he collected his double.

James Heath
James Heath

James Heath was all in preflop from the cutoff and Boris Kolev called from the big blind.

Boris Kolev: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
James Heath: {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

Heath was dominated and things got worse after the {j-Hearts}{k-Spades}{q-Clubs} flop paired the Kolev's king.

The {10-Spades} turn brought possible chop outs as it gave both players a Broadway draw but the {2-Hearts} completed the board on the river and eliminated Heath on the final table bubble.
