Illankumaran Kandiah Hits Wrong Spade against Dennis Nguyen

May 15, 2024

Per Hindikes opens UTG to 20,000 and Dennis Nguyen and Illankumaran Kandiah defend their blinds. 

The action checks through the flop of Diamond 2Spade 7Heart 6 and they go to the turn Spade 2. Nguyen then leads for 35,000 and Kandiah moves all in for 52,000. Hindikes quickly gets out of the way and Nguyen calls to put his opponent at risk.

Nguyen tables Diamond 10Heart 10 and is currently ahead of Kandiah’s Spade KSpade 9, who has an over card and a flush draw. 

The river does, in fact, bring in a spade, but unfortunately for Kandiah, it is the Spade 10, giving Nguyen a full house to take down the pot and send him to the rail. 

Dennis Nguyen – 380,000 (48 bb)
Illankumaran Kandiah – Eliminated
