Nguyen Finds a Triple Up
Niveau 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Scotty Nguyen moved all in for 13,500 from the hijack, the cutoff moved all in for 33,000 and Atanas Kavrakov, in the big blind, went into the tank. With a $2,012 bounty on the line, Kavrakov made the call.
Scotty Nguyen: K♥J♠ 
Cutoff: A♣8♠
Atanas Kavrakov: K♦4♥
Every player at the table not involved in the hand started to call for a jack to keep both Nguyen and their own bounty interests alive. The J♣9♦2♦ flop saw Nguyen take the lead and the table erupted into cheer.
The J♥ river confirmed Nguyen's triple up. The neutral players at the table got up and out of their seats to high-five Nguyen. The 4♣ river saw Kavrakov win the side pot to ensure he didn't lose any chips during the hand while also eliminating the cutoff.
