Only in Oklahoma; Nguyen Doubles Through Vieth in Interesting Fashion
Level 17
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
A roar came over the tournament field as a hand that took place between Day 1b chip leader Quan Donot Nguyen and Mason Vieth took place.
According to Brian Lee, Vieth had told Nguyen he would call dark if Nguyen jammed in the dark when they were both in the blinds. Action folded to Nguyen, and he shoved for roughly 300,000, and Vieth, true to his word, called.
Nguyen held 
to Vieth's 
, and Nguyen held up to double back above 600,000, while the two shared a laugh at how they both held up their end of the gentleman's agreement to gamble and gamble hard.
