Nguyen Gets There
Level 5
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
All of the chips went in the middle before the flop and Hai Nguyen was at risk for 131,000 against Punnat Punsri.
Hai Nguyen: 6♥6♣ 
Punnat Punsri: 9♠9♥
Nguyen was in rough shape and the 7♠7♥3♦ flop changed nothing. The K♣ fell on the turn, leaving Nguyen with just two outs and the 6♦ river was one of them as he fist-pumped and collected the pot.
