Nguyen Doubles Through Lingham
Level 26
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Vinny Lingham kicked the action off with a raise to 800,000 from the hijack. Directly to his left, Khoi Le Nguyen three-bet to 1,800,000, and Lingham called.
The dealer spread a flop of 5♥Q♣J♥, and Lingham decided to lead out for 2,200,000. After a minute or so to think about the situation, Nguyen moved all in for 5,450,000. Lingham asked for a count and, once received, made the call.
Khoi Le Nguyen: K♠Q♥ 
Vinny Lingham: 10♣9♦
The turn kept Nguyen in the lead, coming the 4♥.
Lingham then spun away from the table to celebrate with his rail when the river 8♥ landed, but was quickly calmed by the players at the table, who informed him Nguyen had rivered a flush, earning him a full double up.
