Ngyuen’s Aces Hold the Line
Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
The action picked up on a board showing Q?3?6? in hand with a bloated pot between Phuoc "Paul" Nguyen and a player to his immediate left.
Nguyen moved all in, and his opponent contemplated a call. The dealer counted out Nguyen’s chips at 2,125,000, and Nguyen’s opponent briefly went into the tank before making the call to put Nguyen at risk.
Phuoc Nguyen: A?A? 
Opponent: A?9?
“Woo!” Nguyen exclaimed when seeing his opponent’s tabled hand.
Nguyen’s aces dominated the hand post-flop, and his opponent had a lot of catching up to do.
But the 8? on the turn and A? gave the win to Nguyen, whose chip stack soared.
