Nguyen Shoves and Shows

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Action was picked up on the river with a board that displayed {10-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{9-Spades}. Faraz Jaka had put a full stack bet of 100,000 into the middle. Phong Nguyen jammed over the top of that for about 250,000.

Jaka thought it out long and hard before he eventually mucked his cards. The table prompted Nguyen to show what he had, which he obliged tabling the {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} for a rivered boat.

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Noam Muallem
Noam Muallem

Action of a big hand a shirt while ago was retold to PokerNews by Noam Muallem.

Muallem raised under the gun with {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and found a caller in Brock Wilson.

The flop was {10-}{10-}{8-}. Muallem bet 16,000 and Wilson called. The turn was the {a-Spades}. Both payers checked it.

The river was the {5-Hearts}. Muallem bet 50,000, Wilson raised to 170,000 and Muallem three-bet jammed over the top which Wilson quickly called.

The cards were tabled and Muallem's {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} full house was better than Wilson's {5-}{5-} full house.
