[user22113]

Alan "BodogAri" Engel opens for a raise to 8,000 in middle position, and Than Nguyen was his only caller from the big blind. Both players checked the flop of {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{2-Spades}

, and the turn brought the {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

. Than bet 10,000 and Ari called. The river was the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

. After some careful thinking Nguyen chose 18,500 to bet, and after almost three minutes in the tank, Engel called. Nguyen turned over {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

for a full house and Engel mucked. This hand puts Nguyen at 227,000 and Engel at 40,000 in chips as the players take their 15-minute break.
