Nguyen Steals the Pot From Bach

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Nikolai Mamut raised to 1,100 from middle position, and Michael Bach three-bet to 3,500 from the hijack. Thixoa Nguyen cold-called from the big blind, which encouraged Mamut to come along as well.

When it got to Bach, he fired a continuation-bet of 10,000 on the 837 flop. Nguyen called, while Mamut got out of the way.

Both players checked the 7 turn before the 4 completed the board. Nguyen led out for 25,000, and that proved enough to get Bach to fold.
