Tai Nguyen Off to Bad Start

Level 1 : 25/25, 0 ante

Tai Nguyen had a great finish to the $1,000 event on Tuesday. He finished third for $147,220. He will be looking to get off the ground today to repeat that success.

When we came upon Nguyen, he had reraised to 950 on a flop of {9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades} when his opponent raised his bet. His opponent called, and Nguyen bet out 1,350 on a turn of the {q-Diamonds}. He was called again. The river came the {10-Spades}. Both players checked. Nguyen held {a-Spades}{9-Hearts} for a pair of nines, but his opponent flipped up {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for trip deuces.

With that, Nguyen's day has started in the wrong direction because he is down to 2,100.
