Nguyen and Ward Battles
Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Thomas Ward and Minh Nguyen have just battled in two hands.
The first began with Ward opening to 24,000 from the cut off. Nguyen called from the big blind and the dealer flipped over a flop. Nguyen check-called a bet of 26,000 here and then both players checked the turn.
On the river, Nguyen led for 90,000 and Ward folded.
The next hand these two played saw Nguyen open to 24,000 from under the gun. Ward was the lone caller from the button and with that, a flop was dealt on the felt.
Both players checked here and then on the turn, Nguyen led for 36,000. Ward called and the river was dealt. This time Nguyen led for a large 175,000 and Ward quickly folded.
