Nguyen Doubles to Leave Hage Short
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
With three players seeing a board of 7♠J♠K♣ and around 11,000 in the middle Han Nguyen was all in for 27,400 from the button and up against Samir Hage who covered him from early position.
Han Nguyen: A♥J♥ 
Samir Hage: A♠10♠
Nguyen was ahead with second pair while Hage had plenty of outs with the nut-flush draw. The J♣3♣ runout improved Nguyen to trips for the double up.
Richard Reisman relayed the action from earlier in the hand, which saw Hage min-raise preflop and receive calls from Reisman in the hijack and Nguyen. On the flop Hage checked, Reisman bet, Nguyen shoved, Reisman re-shoved and Hage folded K♠5♠ for top pair and the second-nut flush draw.
