Nguyen Can't Seem to Stop Winning

Level 20

2-7 Triple Draw

Mike Wattel opened under the gun only to have Don Nguyen three-bet from middle position. Mike Gorodinsky then four-bet from the button, the blinds folded and both his opponents called. Wattel drew two while Nguyen and Gorodinsky both drew one.

Two checks put action on Gorodinsky and he bet. Wattel folded, Nguyen check-raised and Gorodinsky called. Both players stood pat and then Gorodinsky called a bet, action that repeated itself after both players stood pat for a second time.

Nguyen then tabled 7-6-5-4-2 and Gorodinsky mucked.

Minh Ly raised on the button, John Hennigan made it three bets in the big blind, and Ly called. Hennigan led out on the flop ({3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{6-Spades}) and the turn ({a-Clubs}), and Ly called both bets. The {2-Spades} completed the board, Hennigan checked, and Ly fired out a bet. Hennigan folded, and Ly raked in the pot.

The very next hand, Ly raised again, and Hennigan three-bet from the small blind. Ly called, and again Hennigan led out on the first two streets as the board came {5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{q-Spades}. Ly called both bets.

The river was the {8-Clubs}, Hennigan led out a third time, and Ly raised. Hennigan called, showing {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} for a set, but Ly showed {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} for Broadway.

After losing the two pots, Hennigan plummeted to 1.3 million chips, while Ly rocketed to 2.54 million.
