Nguyen Checks Down Top Pair
Level 31
: 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Phong Nguyen opened to 555,000 from the cutoff and action folded to Chris Moorman in the big blind who, after asking how much his opponent had behind, made the call.
Action checked through the 
flop to the 
turn where again both players checked. On the 
river Moorman checked for a third time and, after brief consideration, Nguyen checked back and showed down 
, good enough to take down the pot.
