Brandt Sends Out Nguyen

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Manh Nguyen raised to 8,000 in the cutoff and Alex Rocha called in the small blind. Lawrence Brandt then three-bet to 32,000 in the big blind, and only Nguyen called.

The flop came 53A and Brandt moved all in. Nguyen called for his last 80,000.

Manh Nguyen: AQ98 All in
Lawrence Brandt: AK109

Both players had flopped top pair, while Brandt was ahead with his king-kicker. The K turn improved him to two pair, and the 9 river sealed Nguyen's bustout.
