Nguyen Takes a Hit
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Phong Vip Nguyen opened to 23,000 from early position and was called by a player on the button as well as the big blind.
The big blind checked to Nguyen on the 
flop and he continued for 50,000. That got a fold from the button player but the big blind responded by check-raising to 112,000. Nguyen, after some time, opted to flat.
The turn came 
and the big blind bet again, this time pushing 70,000 into the middle. Nguyen counted his stack, thought for some time and then pushed his cards into the muck to concede the pot.
