"Sweet" Triple for Andress
Level 18
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Vien Nguyen raised to 17,000 under the gun, and Kent Goulding three-bet to what looked like 42,000 in the next spot. From middle position, John Andress shoved all in for 87,000. Action folded back to Nguyen, who moved in as well.
"Alright, I'll play," Goulding said.
Goulding: 
Nguyen: 
Andress: 
The flop came 
, giving Goulding a flush draw and suddenly a very live hand. The 
turn gave Andress a straight draw, and Nguyen's once-promising aces were now in grave danger. The dealer peeled off the 
, a miracle card Andress needed.
"Wow," he said softly. "That's sweet."
He gathered a triple up, while Nguyen was left with 11,000, which he doubled up next hand all in blind-versus-blind with 
.
