Jaeho Lee Scores Roller Coaster Double Against Duy Thuc Nguyen

Out of the small blind, chip leader Duy Thuc Nguyen raises to 180,000, three times the big blind. Jaeho Lee ponders about his next move for a short while only and then pushes all-in for 1,705,000.

Nguyen makes the call after some 25 seconds and finds himself trailing.

Jaeho Lee:
Duy Thuc Nguyen:

Lee is way out in front but has a mountain to climb on the flop. Nguyen is quite excited and high-fives Nang Quang Nguyen already before a moment later the falls on the turn.

Another blank follows with the river and Lee escapes in spectacular fashion.

Jaeho Lee – 3,500,000
Duy Thuc Nguyen – 5,740,000
