A Setback for Nguyen

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

There were about 2,500 chips in the middle and the {J-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop was out when we got to the table. Men Nguyen bet 1,500 from the small blind, a player in middle position shoved for about 4,000, Andrew Barber folded from the button, and Nguyen called to put his opponent at risk.

Men Nguyen: {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}
Opponent: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}

Nguyen had flopped top pair, top kicker, but found himself trailing his opponent's set of sevens. The {2-Spades} turn and {6-Spades} river missed both players entirely and Nguyen's opponent took the pot to double up.
