Nguyen Doubles on the Bubble

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Harsheel Kothari raised from middle position to 16,000, finding Thanh Nguyen in the small blind who shoved all in for his last 43,000. Action back on Kothari, he thought on his decision for some time.

"Do I want to crush his dreams?" Kothari asked himself aloud before making the call.

Thanh Nguyen: A?A?
Harsheel Kothari: 8?6?

The dream-crushing seemed possible on the flop of 3?5?4?, giving Kothari an open-ended straight draw. But thankfully for Nguyen, the turn and river came the 9? and K?, respectively, ensuring him that his aces would safely hold up.
