Nguyen Cracks Aces in Massive Pot
Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Action was picked up on the turn with around 35,000 in the middle in a hand between Guillaume Garcia from the cutoff and Dinh Nhat Nguyen from the big blind.
With the board reading Q?6?5?J?, Nguyen checked to Garcia who put out a bet of 27,000. In response, Nguyen check-jammed as the covering stack for around 100,000 effective, sending Garcia deep into the tank. Once the clock was called, Garcia flicked in a chip to call and the cards hit their backs.
Guillaume Garcia: A?A? 
Dinh Nhat Nguyen: J?J?
Nguyen had turned a set to crack the aces of Garcia who was almost able to find a fold. The 9? river did not help Garcia as he hit the exit in brutal fashion.
