"Why Are You So F'n Good?"

Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

Long Duc Nguyen opened to 300,000 on the button and Gordon Vayo called from the big blind. The flop came {6-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}, Vayo checked and Nguyen bet 400,000. Vayo called, the turn was {K-Diamonds} and both players checked. The river came {7-Clubs}, Vayo took some time and bet 935,000.

Nguyen sat back in his chair, tilted his cap and said, "Why are you so f'n good?"

The rest of table laughed, Vayo barely reacted and Nguyen went deep into the tank. He counted out a calling stack, counted what he had behind and sat back to think some more.

Nguyen pushed the call in and Vayo tabled {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for a flopped straight and rivered flush.

"I didn't put him on a flush," Nguyen said, baffled, counting his stack back.

"Gordon, I know you're playing in the Main Event and all but I'll tell you your strengths and weaknesses right now," Layne Flack said.

"Well my strengths are flopping monsters," Vayo said smiling.

"His weakness is not hitting the {3-Clubs} for the straight flush," Chino Rheem added.
