Nguyen's Got Alligator Blood
Level 41
: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
TJ Murphy raised to 3,000,000 from middle position, Tao Chu made the call from the small blind. Hai Nguyen who had under five big blinds to start the hand put his remaining chips in the middle, he was all in and at risk against both opponents.
The flop came 9?5?4? Chu checked, Murphy bet 4,000,000, and Chu folded. The two remaining players tabled their cards.
Hai Nguyen: 6?4? 
TJ Murphy: Q?Q?
The turn was the 7? giving Nguyen additional outs.
The river was the miracle 8? giving Nguyen a straight. One could say Nguyen has alligator blood as he remains hanging around in this tournament.
