Wish Granted

With 10,000 already in the pot it was It was the Big Blind who bet into Kenny Nguyen. Nguyen confident in his hand raised to 10,500. Not to be bullied around the Big Blind moved all-in, and Nguyen snap called and was all in for around 24,000. The board read {5-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{J-Spades}.

Nguyen held {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} for a set of queens and his opponent had {K-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a king high flush draw. Nguyen demanded the dealer "pair the board!" and to his delight a {5-Hearts} rolled off the deck to give him a full house.
