Falcon Takes a Big Pot off Nguyen

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Sam Razavi raised to 53,000 and Chi Thinh Nguyen called from the button. Chip leader Michael Falcon three-bet to 165,000 and Razavi folded, while Nguyen called. On the {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop, Falcon led for 200,000 and was called before firing another 350,000 on the {A-Spades} turn. Again Nguyen called while glancing over at his opponent to see the {4-Hearts} appear on the river.

Two minutes passed before Falcon pushed all in, and Nguyen tried to get any read off the Dane with some 770,000 behind himself. Ultimately, he folded ace-king for top two pair face up and Falcon joked "I bet you want to see that hand," half to the rail and half to Nguyen, before sending the cards into the muck.
