Nguyen Closes the Gap
Level 28
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Alexandre Reard raised to 1,200,000 on the button, and Khoi Le Nguyen responded with a three-bet to 4,800,000 from the small blind. The big blind folded, but Reard made the call.
Both players checked on the J♥10♦5♠ flop, and the dealer added the Q♣ to the board.
Nguyen checked again, prompting Reard to fire out a bet of 3,500,000. Nguyen called, and the players headed to a river.
The J♦ river slowed the action down as both players checked. Nguyen flipped over A♦Q♦, which was enough to win the pot as Reard returned his cards to the dealer.
