Nguyen Approaching Two Million
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
What started as an innocent enough pot turned into a raising war that has seen Toan Nguyen extend his chip lead even further to end the night.
Jeffrey Lennon raised to 26,000 in the cutoff and was called by Nguyen in the big blind.
The flop came 
and the fun began.
Nguyen started with a check and Lennon bet 17,000. The aggressive Nguyen then check-raised to 55,000.
Lennon came back with a raise to 130,000, but that still wasn't enough for Nguyen, who now made it 260,000.
Lennon went into the tank for a couple of minutes, and then shaking his head and looking visibly frustrated, he mucked his cards and sent the pot to Nguyen.
