Nguyen Wins Race to Double

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

When we got back from break, we noticed that Huy Nguyen's once massive chip stack had been cut down to just 52,000, but he quickly got back to work, winning a huge race to get back over 100,000. Nguyen got the rest of his money in preflop holding {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} against his opponent's {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}. The board ran clean for Nguyen, running down {10-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, and Nguyen made an unnecessary set on the river to take the double up.
