Gamble Pays Off for Alfa; Eliminates Nguyen

Level 21
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

With more than 100,000 already in the middle, the flop was and Dave Alfa checked to Hoan Nguyen who shoved all-in for 164,000 which the third player in the hand folded instantly to and after going in the tank for a minute Alfa made the call.
Hoan Nguyen:
Dave Alfa:
Nguyen had an overpair and was up against Alfa's open-ended straight draw. The turn was the improving Alfa to a straight and also giving Nguyen an open-ended straight draw himself. Unfortunately for Nguyen, the river was a brick when the
hit and Nguyen was eliminated.
