Nguyen Wins With a Cold Deck
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Action folded to Chris Klodnicki in middle position who opened to 400,000. Tracy Nguyen was next to act and shipped in her stack for her tournament life. The remainder of the players folded and Klodnicki snapped it off. He got the bad news when the cards hit their back.
Tracy Nguyen: A♦A♥
Chris Klodnicki: K♥K♠
The 3♦4♦J♦ had Klodnicki drawing thin as Nguyen held the ace of diamonds. The turn sealed the deal with the 5♦ and river was the J♠. Nguyen gets the pure double and vaults into second in chips behind Ausmus.
