Nguyen Versus Wong
Level 3
: 150/300, 50 ante
November Niner Jerry Wong opened for 800 and two positions over, seated in the hijack, Thi Xoa Nguyen three-bet to 3,000. Action folded around back to Wong and he called.
Wong checked on 
and Nguyen answered with a bet of 3,000. Wong called.
The 
on the turn saw the same routine: Wong checked, Nguyen bet (this time 7,000) and Wong called.
With the 
completing the board, Wong checked for the third time. Nguyen asked to see how much Wong was still playing and eventually bet 20,000, about two-thirds of what Wong had behind.
Wong called and Nguyen showed 
for top set. Wong was quick to reveal his 
and raked in the chips.
"Wow" was all Nguyen could say.
