Nguyen Takes the Lead
Level 29
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Karim Kaladjou opened to 225,000 on the button and with J?6? and Tung Nguyen defended his big blind with A?6?.
The A?Q?A? flop upgraded Nguyen to trip aces and he checked to Kaladjou, who continued for 150,000. Nguyen check-raised to 450,000 and Kaladjou called.
Nguyen checked after the 3? came on the turn and Kaladjou bluffed 300,000 into the middle. Nguyen called.
The 2? completed the board and Nguyen put a paltry bet of 200,000 into the middle. Kaladjou decided his ruse was over he flicked his hand into the muck.
