Eights Hold for Nguyen Against Opponents Big Slick
Level 27
: 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Nhut Nguyen came up to us at PokerNews to tell us about a hand that catapulted him over the 2,500,000 chip stack that happened during the level right before the break.
Nguyen opened for 90,000 under the gun and a player in late position jammed for 700,000. Action folded back around to Nguyen who said he took some time before he called.
Nhut Nguyen: 
Opponent: 
Nguyen risked a little under half his stack on a coin flip, but it paid off.
Nguyen's pocket eights slicked through the 
board unscathed as he eliminated his opponent.
