Nguyen Dodges Aces

We arrived at Team PokerStars Pro Anh Van Nguyen's table and found him in the tank. The pot had about 15,000 in the middle. A short-stacked player was all in and another player was all in for 48,075.

Nguyen thought it over for about three minutes, but folded {K-Spades}{K-Clubs} face up. He was relieved to see the 48k all-in opponent turn over {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} and was even happier to see the flop deliver the {A-Clubs}. His table was set to break and even the floorman complemented Nguyen on the fold.

He saved himself many chips and has about 75,000.
