Nguyen Loses Monster Pot

We caught up with the action on a {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades} board, where Nguyen had roughly a 7,000 bet in front of him from middle position. His lone opponent on the button went all in for about 56,000 total and Nguyen fell deep into the tank.

"Want me to call you?" Nguyen asked.

No reply.

After deliberating for a couple minutes, Nguyen said, "Alright, I call," and his opponent tabled {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds} for top two pair.

Nguyen dejectedly flipped over {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for an inferior two pair.

The {9-Hearts} river kept Nguyen's opponent in the lead and Nguyen's stack was chopped down to just 25,000.
