Nuts Against Second Nuts for Nguyen
Level 3
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Action was picked up on the turn in a hand between David Taieb in middle position and Dinh Nhat Nguyen in the hijack.
With the board reading J?8?3?A?, Taieb checked to Nguyen who bet 5,000 and Taieb quickly called.
The 5? completed the board and Taieb checked again. Nguyen went with a small sizing of 4,000 and Taieb put out a check-raise to 18,000. Nguyen then three-bet to 49,000 after some deliberation. Taieb went deep into the tank for around two minutes before he finally put out the call.
Nguyen showed K?J? for the nut flush while Taieb tabled the Q? for the second nuts in a cooler scenario as Nguyen padded his stack.
