Full House Over Full House Creates New Chip Leader

Feb 6, 2020

Ngoc Nguyen

Ngoc Nguyen bets 32,200 into a pot worth just under 50,000 chips, on a Heart 5Heart 3Club 8Spade 5Club 10 board. Jonathan Wong is the only other player in the hand and he thinks at length about what to do.

“Difficult?” Blurted Nguyen after a few minutes. Immediately, Wong announces all-in for just over 100,000 chips. Amazed, Nguyen asks for a count, before quickly calling the rest.

Wong reveals Club 3Diamond 3 for a full house but it’s bad news for him when Nguyen turns over Spade 8Diamond 8 for a superior full house.

The chips are counted out and after Wong hands over 90,000 to Nguyen, he is left with just 10,000. That huge pot is worthy of the chip lead for Nguyen.

Ngoc Nguyen – 220,000
Jonathan Wong – 9,000
