Cardot Doubles Through Nguyen
Level 27
: 50,000/75,000, 75,000 ante
Yannick Cardot opened to 625,000 from middle position, leaving himself just 25,000 behind. Albert Nguyen called out of the small blind and the big blind got out of the way to send the two players heads up to the flop.
On a flop of 
Nguyen bet enough to force his opponent all in and, after glancing over his shoulder at the other table to see if there were any all-in players, Cardot called off for his tournament life.
Yannick Cardot: 
Albert Nguyen: 
Cardot was way out in front and in a great spot to double up. The 
turn changed nothing and Cardot secured the pot on the 
river to move back up above 1,000,000.
