The Master Loses A Race Then Doubles

We found Men "The Master" Nguyen call the all in of a short stack player. Nguyen held {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} and was racing with his opponent's {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}.

The board fell {7-Clubs}[3h}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and Nguyen was unable to pair up while his opponent made a set of deuces.

Several hands later, however, Nguyen was able to score a double up with small pairs when his pocket threes got it in preflop against {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. Nguyen's treys held and he was able to double up to about 20,000.
