Monster Pots For Nguyen

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

Don Nguyen just picked up two very large pots back-to-back. In the first hand, we picked it up with three-way action with Joseph Cheong, Don Nguyen, and Mike Leah, after the first draw. Nguyen bet, Leah and Cheong called, Nguyen stood pat, Leah and Cheong drew two. Nguyen bet, Leah raised, and Cheong and Nguyen called. Nguyen stood pat, Lead and Cheong drew one. Nguyen lead out again, both Leah and Cheong called. Checks around after the final draw and Nguyen takes it down with {8-}{7-}.

The next hand, Nguyen, Cheong and Hanh Tran were involved in a three-bet pot on the opening deal. Tran swapped two, Nguyen asked for one, and Cheong drew two. Tran check-clled a bet from Nguyen and Cheong tagged along. Tran drew two, Nguyen stood pat, and Cheong drew one. Again Tran check-called a bet from Nguyen and Cheong made the call. Tran drew one, Nguyen stood pat, Cheong also drew one. Tran check-folded to Nguyen's bet and Cheong called. Nguyen tabled {8-}{5-} and it was good.

Eighty-Six For Flack

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

Picking up with the action on the second draw, Layne Flack and Catherine Dever stood pat while Dan Kelly opted for one card. Flack led out with a bet, Dever called, and Kelly called as well.

On the final draw, Flack and Dever stood pat once more and Kelly picked up one new card. Action checked around and Dever tabled an {8-}{7-}{5-}{4-}{3-}. She was ultimately best by one card, however, as Flack showed down {8-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{3-} for a better eight low. Kelly mucked his cards and Flack was pushed the pot. The six-time WSOP bracelet winner is now sitting on about 48,000 in chips.
