Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

On one of the last hands before the recent break, pro Kenny Nguyen got all of his chips into the middle holding , and he was in a fortuitous position against two opponents who both held .

Unfortunately for Nguyen, the final board rolled out with one of the dreaded big cards, and he was forced to ship half of his stack across the table to each opponent.

Nguyen stuck around to discuss the strategic implications of the hand, asking one of the winners if there was any way he could have moved him off the big slick. The player simply shook his head in the negatory, indicating that Nguyen was fated to lose this coin flip confrontation no matter what line he elected to take.
