Hands #74-75: Miracle River Card Saves Kenny "Super Tuan" Nguyen

Sep 23, 2009

Hand #74  –  Jeremy Brown wins a small pot with unknown action. (Overshadowed by the excitement of the previous hand.)

Hand #75  –  Kenny Nguyen raises from the cutoff to 245,000, and Michael Brown calls from the big blind. The flop comes [Js8h6c], Brown bets 350,000, and Nguyen moves all in for 1,055,000. 

Brown calls [AdJd] (pair of jacks), and Nguyen is dominated with [KdJc] (pair of jacks, lower kicker). Nguyen is drawing thin, and the [4h] on the river offers no help. But when the [Kc] hits the river, giving him the pot with two pair (kings and jacks), Nguyen celebrates as some of his friends chant his nickname: "Super Tuan! Super Tuan! Super Tuan!"

Kenny Nguyen  –  2,675,000
Michael Brown  –  5,600,000
