Roller Coaster for Nguyen

Phil Mader open-shoved on the button for 171,000, and Will Nguyen looked him up from the big blind.

Mader: {8-Spades}{7-Spades}
Nguyen: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

The {a-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} flop gave both players a pair, and Nguyen remained in the lead. The {3-Clubs} on the turn was a brick, but the {7-Clubs} fell on the river, giving Mader two pair.

He doubled to 360,000 chips, while Nguyen dropped down to 195,000.

A few hands later, after unknown action, Nguyen was all in and at risk with {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}. Brant Hale had him at risk with {10-Spades}{7-Spades}, and the queens held as the board ran out {k-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{8-Spades}.

Nguyen doubled back up to 420,000 chips, while Hale dropped down to 1.275 million.
