Nguyen Leaves Mighall Short-Stacked
Level 32
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 265,000 ante
Thanhlong Nguyen opened with a pot-sized raise to 875,000 from the cutoff. Phillip Mighall took some time in the big blind to come to a decision. He opted on a call.
On a flop of 4♠10♣6♠ Mighall shoved, and Nguyen snapped off. "Big flop," Mighall told his rail.
Thanhlong Nguyen: A♠A♦J♥10♦
Phillip Mighall: 10♠8♣7♣5♦
Mighall had flopped massive, but the A♣ turn ruined his two pair outs. He needed a flush or a straight, but neither came as Mighall boated up on the 10♥ river to seal his survival.
