Kenny Nguyen Does Not

After raising to 925 in early position, pro Kenny Nguyen watched Chris Winter throw out a pile of chips, and after asking for a count things got a bit confusing. Winter had pushed 1,425 forward, and it took some sorting to determine whether or not he had made a minimum raise, or simply a call.

The raise stood, and Nguyen was perplexed by the meaning of the bet.

"Now I don't know if you mean to raise or just call," said Nguyen, fishing for some added information. "OK, let's see the flop."

The dealer fanned the {k-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} across the felt, and both players opted to tap the table. On the {q-Clubs} turn, Nguyen checked a second time, and his opponent bet 1,800.

"I have a good pocket pair," Nguyen said as he mucked his {9-}{9-}. "But too many big cards out there."

Despite the setback, Nguyen remains in good spirits, laughing and joking with the rest of the table every few minutes or so.

Winter, however, probably wished Nguyen had flopped a bigger piece of the board, as his {A-}{10-} was good for the nuts on the turn.
