Labat Finds an Ace to Knock Out Nguyen
Stephen Buell opened the action from the hijack with a raise to 1,500, and Thixoa Nguyen made the call from the cutoff. Antoine Labat, sitting in the big blind, put in a three-bet to 6,400. Both opponents called to see a flop.
The dealer spread 7♣2♥5♦, and Labat continued with a bet of 6,000. Nguyen was the only caller, taking the hand to the turn.
On the 10♥ turn, Labat took a brief pause before sliding out a bet of 35,000, putting Nguyen all in for her remaining stack of around 15,000. Nguyen double-checked her cards and made the call.
Thixoa Nguyen: 7♠4♠
Antoine Labat: A♥K♣
Nguyen held a pair of sevens with a gutshot, while Labat had two overcards with potential. The river brought the A♠, pairing Labat's ace and ending Nguyen’s run. Labat collected the pot and the bounty.
