Thu Nguyen Flips

Thu Nguyen was in the small blind and faced a raise from the button. He managed to get his remaining 5,825 chips in the middle before the flop and his opponent called.

Nguyen was at risk with {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}, up against the button's {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. He found himself in a classic coin flip scenario, and pulled ahead when the flop came {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades}, giving him a pair of aces to lead the way. The turn was the {10-Hearts} and the river was the {6-Spades}, giving him a double-up and putting him in a good position to contend for top spot at his table.
