Nguyen Crushes Williams

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Minh Nguyen raised to 25,000 from the cut off. Sam Williams then bumped it up to 60,000 from the button as the blinds got out of the way. Nguyen made the call and both players watched the flop come down {3-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{10-Spades}.

Both players opted to check before the dealer revealed the {5-Spades} on the turn. Nguyen reached for his chips and slid out 71,000. Williams thought about his decision for over a minute before making the call.

The {7-Clubs} completed the board and Nguyen sat motionless for a moment before committing another 181,000 in chips. Williams went into the tank for more than three minutes before finally making the call.

Nguyen then confidently tabled his {8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for trip tens which was enough to take down the monster pot after Williams mucked his hand.

Here are the five chip stacks as the players head on a break.
