Nguyen Nguyens

We sill have a few tables heads-up as we go into a 20-minute break, but one battle that has finally ended is that between Minh Nguyen and Joe Tehan. Both players checked the {J-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {9-Clubs} flop, and Tehan bet 3,000 and then called all in on the {5-Clubs} turn. He turned over {10-Hearts} {9-Hearts} but Nguyen turned over {K-Hearts} {J-Clubs} -- no more hearts on the river, and Nguyen was finally victorious after more than three hours heads up.
