Nguyen Finds a Miracle Turn to Stay Alive

Level 10: 600 / 1,200 ante: 1,200

Right before the break, Ngoc Ha Nguyen was all-in for her tournament life against Le Buu Nghia in a classic showdown: big slick versus pocket kings.

Ngoc Ha Nguyen: A♦ K♠

Le Buu Nghia: K♦ K♣

The flop came down A♥ Q♠ K♥, giving Nguyen top two pair but leaving her well behind Nghia’s set of kings. It looked grim, and the tension at the table was clear as Nguyen watched quietly, hoping for a lifeline.

Then came the A♣ on the turn — a dramatic twist that gave Nguyen aces full of kings, turning the tables and cracking Nghia’s full house of kings full of aces. A small smile spread across her face as she realized she was back in the game, scooping a crucial double-up just before heading off to enjoy the break.
