Nguyen Doubles Up Through Yajinuma's Bullets

Level 9: 3,500 / 7,000 ante: 7,000
Nang Quang Nguyen

Nang Nguyen limped in from the small blind, and Juji Yajinuma raised to 22,000 from the big blind. Nguyen dropped in a call.

Nang Nguyen checked on the flop of K 6 8 , and Yajinuma continued with a bet of 40,000 only to be jammed by Nguyen for 177,000. After thinking for a while, Yajinuma threw one purple chip in the middle and announced “Call.”

Juji Yajinuma: A A

Nang Nguyen: 9 7

Nguyen picked up a flush and straight draw, meaning Yajinuma needed to fade many cards to win the pot. The dealer soon delivered a runout of 5 T, improving Nguyen to a straight.

While waiting for the dealer to count the chips for a few seconds, Nguyen asked, “You do it or I do it?” The dealer smiled and started to count the chips. Yajinuma still stays alive in the tournament.
