Qui Nguyen Lucky to Chop With Zoufri

Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante

In a hand that occurred on the live stream, Qui Nguyen raised to 2,100 from the button with {a-Spades}{6-Spades} and got one caller before Hakim Zoufri made it 6,100 in the big blind.

Nguyen came along to make it heads-up to a {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{9-Spades} flop. Zoufri checked, and Nguyen bet 11,000, nearly a pot-sized bet. Zoufri tanked for some time before calling. On the {10-Clubs} turn, Nguyen thought for over a minute before checking behind Zoufri, and Zoufri fired out 9,000 on the {8-Hearts} river. Nguyen called immediately, and the two chopped with identical ace-high hands.
