Mastering the Competition

After a player opened for 300 and received a call from another player in middle position, Men "The Master" Nguyen raised to 900 from the button. The original raiser and limper came along for the ride and all three watched the flop come down {4-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{9-Spades}.

Surprisingly, everyone checked and allowed the dealer to burn and turn the {3-Hearts}. At this point, the under-the-gun player bet 1,650 and Nguyen was the only one to make the call. Both players proceeded to check the {5-Spades} river and Nguyen waited for his opponent to show {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} before rolling over the winning {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}.

Nguyen added a few thousand to his stack and is up to 34,000.
