Nguyen Chipping Up

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

It has been all Chris Fraser and Matt Berkey here on Day 1 in the Amazon Gold section, but another player is chipping up. Truyen Nguyen has flown a bit under the radar but he has quietly amassed one of the largest stacks in the room.

Nguyen is now playing about 220,000 and will look to finish strong with less than one level of play left in the night.
