Phong Nguyen and Louise Francouer
Phong Nguyen and Louise Francouer

Three players saw a flop that came down {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{7-Spades}. Phong Nguyen bet 48,000 from the small blind and Louise Francoeur called from the big blind. The third player on the button called as well.

The turn was the {8-Diamonds}. Action checked around.

The river was the {6-Clubs}. Nguyen quickly pushed out two stacks for a bet of about 180,000. Francoeur instantly announced all in to fold out the third player and Nguyen went into the tank as he was covered with 318,000 behind in his stack.

Nguyen played with his chips and cards and stewed it over for a good while before eventually he folded and Francoeur took in a pot that sent her stack north of a million chips.

But the flop sent Calenzo into the lead as it came {q-}{j-}{3-}. The turn was a {k-} to make Amiryan emerge back on top. The river came a {a-} and Amiryan gained a big portion of chips.
