Men Talks His Way to a Win

The Master
The Master
Men "The Master" Nguyen raised to 3,500 from the cutoff and the big blind hesitated before making a decision. Men looked at him and pretended to move the rest of his stack in. "I got 6,500 left. All you can eat baby."

The big blind opted to just call, and we saw a flop of {7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}. Action checked to Nguyen, who made a "friendly bet" of 3,500. Again, the big blind didn't know what to do.

"If you show me your hand, I'll show you mine," Nguyen said.

"I think I want to keep you in," the big blind said.

"You want to keep me in? Please call."

The big blind continued to tank before finally folding and showing ace-jack. Nguyen, true to his word, showed ace-six and took the pot.
