Nguyen Loses to Sankaranarayanan's Full House

Gabrielle Barredo
Gabrielle Barredo
Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Benjamin Nguyen, under the gun, opened for 240,000, and Rajagopal Sankaranarayanan in the cutoff called to see a flop of 5♥2♦9♥. Nguyen check-called Sankaranarayanan's bet of 150,000.

Sankaranarayanan continued the pressure with 375,000 on the A♣ turn after action was passed to him. Nguyen, unfazed, called.

The same thing happened a third time on the 5♦ river, where Nguyen called Sankaranarayanan's hefty 1,100,000 bet.

Sankaranarayanan turned over 9♦9♣ for a rivered full house, prompting Nguyen to throw his hand in the muck.
