Nguyen No Longer on Tilt
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
At the start of the level, Robert Nguyen declared himself on tilt before then changing his mind while showing a busted straight draw for another successful bluff. "Seat one not on tilt anymore," Nguyen joked. Then, Asj Taylor raised from the hijack and Nguyen called in the small blind.
On the flop 
, Nguyen check-called a bet of 12,500 and did so again on the 
turn for 24,000. The 
came on the river and Nguyen immediately shoved all in. Taylor asked for a count and it was 93,500 to call. After plenty of consideration, Taylor called and Nguyen announced "nuts" before turning over the 
. Taylor mucked and lost more than half of his stack.
