Nguyen Shows the Bluff
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Action for this hand was picked up on the river, but prior action was shared after the fact.
The 
flop was checked through by both players. The cutoff bet on the 
turn. Minh Nguyen flatted.
By the time the 
hit the felt on the river, the pot had swelled to nearly half a million chips. Nguyen led out with a jam. His opponent was the second largest stack at the table, but would be putting himself at risk to make the call. He tanked for several minutes, with the clock eventually getting called. As time was about to expire, he folded 
face up, for the Broadway straight.
Nguyen turned over 
, for nothing more than a pair. Nevertheless, the pot belonged to him, adding to his massive stack.
