Nguyen Cracks Aces
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Action was picked up on the flop with the board showing 10?6?7? with roughly 30,000 in the pot. Paul Nguyen was all in for 85,000, with a player under the gun putting him at risk.
Paul Nguyen: 9?9? 
Under the Gun: A?A?
Nguyen ran into pockets aces but once the board ran out 5? on the turn, and 8? on the river, Nguyen improved to a straight to crack the pocket aces, and double up.
