Nguyen Refuses to Lose

The epic battle between Minh Nguyen and Joe Tehan is still underway, incredibly. Everyone though it was all over when Nguyen called Tehan all in with top pair against a made straight and was crippled down to just 900 chips. Nguyen went all in blind the next hand and doubled up, his 7-9 hitting another seven to beat Tehan's 10-8, and then again the next hand, his Q-K beating Tehan's 4-9. Doing it one more time, Nguyen's pocket sevens made a set against Tehan's Q-9, and he was back in the game with over 7,000 in chips.
