Nguyen's Trips Are Quite a Schock

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Mitch Schock has found himself on the wrong end of Sean Nguyen's trips to slip to just 140,000 in chips as the action continues nine-handed at this final table.

Schock opened with a raise out of the cutoff, but Nguyen three-bet it from the button, forcing the blinds out of the way before Schock called to go heads-up to a flop of {8-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}. Schock check-called Nguyen's bet after the flop, then check-called Nguyen on both the turn of the {Q-Hearts} and the river of the {9-Spades}.

Nguyen rolled over {K-Diamonds}{J-Spades} for flopped trips and Schock, naturally, was quite surprised. You thought we were going to say "shocked" didn't you? Dang it, we just did.

Nguyen's stack is looking a little healthier now, as he's up to 430,000 and change.
