Chi Nguyen faced a difficult decision against Konstantinos Tsikopoulos, who casually slid chips into the pot while playing online poker on a tablet.
Tsikopoulos three-bet Nguyen preflop to 25,000, then fired 20,000 on the flop 4♥9♣4♦, another 25,000 on the 9♦ turn. He upped it on the river 6♠ with an all-in shove.
Nguyen studied for several minutes — through several of Tsikopoulos' online plays — before reluctantly folding.
Two hands later, Nguyen was all in against Noah Workman for his last 59,500 chips.
Chi Nguyen: A♣8♣
Noah Workman: 8♦8♥
Nguyen took the lead early, pairing his ace, and held on through a board of 3♣A♥6♥4♥K♠ to double up.
