Nguyen Doubles Through Deeb Part 2

Level 30 : 120,000/240,000, 0 ante

Scotty Nguyen limped in from the button, Shaun Deeb filled up from the small blind, and Ben Yu checked his option. The {10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop was checked and the {4-Diamonds} fell on the turn. Again all three players checked, which also applies to the {A-Hearts} river. Deeb showed {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-} and that won the pot.

Deeb raised to 840,000 from the button the next hand and that scooped the blinds without showdown.

Nguyen made it 520,000 to go from the small blind and Deeb reraised the pot for 1,560,000 in total from the big blind. Nguyen called and they headed to a flop of {6-Clubs}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts}. Nguyen checked and Deeb bet the pot for 3,120,000. Nguyen had fewer than that behind and called all in.

Scotty Nguyen: {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Shaun Deeb: {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}{10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Nguyen had flopped the full house and doubled after the blank {9-Spades} turn and {K-Diamonds} river runout brought no sweat. Nguyen's double was for 2,365,000 and that vaulted him back to 32 big blinds, ahead of Yu. Despite this setback, Deeb still has as many chips as his two remaining opponents combined.
