Nam Crushes Aces for Tournament-Saving Double

Level 12: 1,000 / 2,000 ante: 2,000
Hoang nam Nguyen

In middle position, Hoang Hai Nam raised to 4,000 and got two callers — Martin Gonzales in the cutoff and Armon van Wijk in the big blind.


The flop came 9 Q 5, and after the action was checked to him, Nam continued for 5,000. Gonzales called, while van Wijk folded.


On the 6 turn, Nam moved all-in, and Gonzales called, putting Nam’s tournament life at risk.


Hoang Hai Nam: 6 6


Martin Gonzales: A A


Nam had turned a set, crushing Gonzales’ pocket aces. The river 4 changed nothing, and Nam secured a big double-up.
