Kenny Nguyen

Kenny Nguyen bet 20,000 into a pot of around 25,000 in chips already.

The board was reading {6-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and there was only one other opponent in the hand.

The opponent mucked and Nguyen one of the great personalities in Poker said "I missed my flush draw" laughing as he scooped the pot.

More importantly, for Nguyen he has now doubled his starting stack.
