Nguyen Catches Set on the Flop

Gabrielle Barredo

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Simon Britton limped from the small blind and got a raise from big blind Toan Nguyen to 100,000. With only 400,000 behind, Britton jammed all-in. After asking for a count, Nguyen made the call putting Britton at risk.

Simon Britton : 5♥5♦ All in
Toan Nguyen: 4♥4♦

Nguyen groaned in frustration when he saw Britton's hand which was ahead. That changed the moment the dealer flipped over J♥4♣10♦ giving Nguyen a set and prompting Britton to start packing his things expecting the result of the hand.

The dealer completed the board with an 8♦ turn and 2♦ river. Britton left as the dealer shipped the chips towards Nguyen's direction.

With roughly 135,000 already in the pot and the flop showing K♥10♦J♠, Thomas Boivin checked from the big blind to Peter Park, who continued for 45,000. Boivin made the call.

The turn brought the 8♣, and Boivin checked once more. Park ramped up the pressure with a bet of 160,000, only for Boivin to respond with a check-raise to 460,000. Park took a moment, then called.

On the 8♥ river, Boivin led out for 250,000. Park went deep into the tank before announcing he was all in. After getting the count of 985,000, Boivin eventually called.

Park revealed K♣J♦ for top two pair, but Boivin tabled Q♠9♠ for a flopped straight that held up. With that, Boivin scooped a massive pot, while Park made his exit.

With some 300,000 chips already in the pot, Jon Cruz stared at a board of 9♣A♥K♦4♣8♠ and decided to go all-in. John Pointer called to put himself at risk for his final 200,000.

John Pointer: A♦Q♣ All in
Jon Cruz: 9♠4♥

Pointer was crestfallen to see that his pair of aces were beaten by an off-brand two pair. Cruz said he had no idea Pointer had flopped such a strong hand.
