Nguyen Survives
Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
With 2,600 in the pot and a board reading 
, an unknown player in middle position checked to a short-stacked Huy Nguyen. The latter put out a bet of 700, leaving just 3,000 behind, and his opponent called. When the 
peeled off on the river, the MP player led out for 2,500, putting Nguyen to the test. It took about a minute before the man from Norman, Oklahoma made the call, and he was rewarded as his 
was good against his opponent's 
.
Nguyen needs to keep the ball rolling as his stack is just 9K, less than half the starting stack.
