Vietnam National Cup (9,000,000 VND)

Kunal Patni opened the cutoff to 40,00 and Nguyen Trung Chien defended from the big blind.

Both saw a flop of A♣ J♠ 5♥ and decided to check through to see a 5♦ land on the turn.

The action went check-check again. The river brought a board-pairing 5♣ , where Chien checked over, which Patni changed his strategy and bet 70,000. Chien snap-folded.

Nguyen Trung Chien opened from the cut-off and Kunal Patni defended his big-blind. Nguyen continued with a 30,000 bet on K♥ 7♥ 6♦ . The turn brought the 4♣ , Patni checked and Nguyen continued his aggressive line with a 115,000 bet, leaving himself around 275,000 more behind. The Indian professional responded with an all-in, covering Nguyen. After some deliberation time Nguyen folded and Patni showed the 5♣ for a potential bluff. He is certainly one of the players to look out for when it comes to favorites to win this tournament.
