Than Nguyen Wins the Last Hand of the Round

Alan "BodogAri" Engel opens for a raise to 8,000 in middle position, and Than Nguyen was his only caller from the big blind. Both players checked the flop of {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades}, and the turn brought the {7-Diamonds}. Than bet 10,000 and Ari called. The river was the {A-Spades}. After some careful thinking Nguyen chose 18,500 to bet, and after almost three minutes in the tank, Engel called. Nguyen turned over {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for a full house and Engel mucked. This hand puts Nguyen at 227,000 and Engel at 40,000 in chips as the players take their 15-minute break.
