Clock Called On Koivurinne; Nguyen Wins

Preflop, Riku Koivurinne opened to 5,000 from middle position and Bruce Nguyen called from the big blind.

The flop came {10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{j-Hearts} with Nguyen check-calling a 7,000-chip bet from Koivurinne.

They repeated the same process on the turn {5-Clubs} except that it was a 14,000-chip bet from Koivurinne.

On the river {8-Spades} Nguyen bet out 26,000 and that sent Koivurinne into the tank for the best part of five minutes. In the end Ben Savage called the clock, and Koivurinne let his time run down before making the call.

It was a bad decision, he instantly mucked upon seeing Nguyen's {j-Clubs}{8-Hearts} two pair.

Nguyen moves over 200,000 in chips. Koivurinne is down to 40,000.
