Ralph Spikes River to Leave Nguyen on Fumes
Level 6
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
It folded to small blind Nang Quang Nguyen, who raised to 12,000. Nicholas Ralph defended his big blind, seeing Nguyen continue for 8,000 on the 10♥9♦A♣ flop.
Ralph raised it to 30,000, and Nguyen tossed in a call. Nguyen then checked the J♥ turn, prompting Ralph to push all in for a massive 154,000, nearly twice the size of the pot. Nguyen looked him up, covering him by less than a big blind.
Nicholas Ralph: K♥5♥
Nang Quang Nguyen: A♥J♣
Ralph's flush draw completed on the 7♥ river, doubling him up and leaving Nguyen with a chip and a chair.
