Yes Huy Can

Huy Nguyen
Huy Nguyen

A player in middle position opened with a raise, and Huy Nguyen three-bet from the blinds before he was faced with an all-in four-bet. Nguyen called off his last 20,925 with {J-Spades} {J-Clubs}, and he was well in front. Mr. Opponent showed up {9-Spades} {10-Spades}.

The {A-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {5-Spades} flop was safe for Nguyen, but the {8-Spades} was a great turn card for Mr. Opponent. He picked up a combo draw to the knockout, but he could not get over the hump. The river {2-Diamonds} filled out the board.

Nguyen was up early, then back down, and now he's up once again. That doubles moves him up to about 44,000 chips.
