Botond Celebrates Too Early as Hovan Doubles

When Balazs Botond opened the pot to 65,000, Hovan Nguyen would shove all in for 225,000 directly on his left. Botond made a fairly quick call and the two players tabled their hands.

Botond: {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Nguyen: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} flop kept Nguyen in front, but gave Botond a few more outs. The {q-Diamonds} turn was great for Botond, giving him the straight and sending him to the rail to celebrate with his friends.

The celebration was a little premature though as a fourth diamond on the river gave Nguyen the flush to send him the double up.
