Chip and a Chair For Nguyen

Phong "Turbo" Nguyen was crippled on the money bubble, where he was knocked down to just 5,000. He voluntarily sat out the next three hands to ensure he made the money, leaving himself with just 3,500, or just over half a big blind, when play restarted. Well Nguyen has been on a major heater since then, and has managed to work his stack all the way up to 95,000! He's still not out of the danger zone, but the meteoric rise in chips is impressive nonetheless.
