Nguyen Bets Big on River

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

On a three-way flop of 2?A?A?, all players checked around to see the K? appear on the turn. The first player checked once more, then James Malcolm took a stab at it for 8,000 and Joe Nguyen made the call while the other player got out of the way.

The river came the 6? and Malcolm decided to check over to Nguyen, who thought for a second before setting out a large bet of 33,000.

Malcolm went briefly into the tank before he made the call, but then Nguyen showed him A?Q? for trip aces, queen kicker, and Malcolm quickly mucked.
