Hand #150: Kai Chang Gets His Chips Back

Joe Nguyen limps for 100,000, Kai Chang raises to 300,000, and Nguyen calls. The flop comes [10s6c3s], Chang bets 400,000, and Nguyen calls.

The turn pairs the board with the [6d], Chang checks, Nguyen bets 600,000, and Chang calls.

The river is the [9c], Chang checks, Nguyen bets 700,000, and Chang thinks for a while before he calls. Nguyen shows Q-8 for queen high, but Chang turns over A-4 to win the pot with ace high.

Joe Nguyen  –  6,760,000
Kai Chang  –  12,535,000

Nguyen had won the first three hands of heads-up play, and they were sizable hands, adding about 2 million to his stack. But all of those gains were erased on this hand, and they’re effectively back to where they started heads-up play.
