Sesate Doubles Through Nguyen
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
On a flop of J♠8♦5♦ with just under 5,000 in the middle, Hai Nguyen bet 2,200 from the cutoff before Stacy Sesate check-jammed for her remaining 17,000 from the big blind, and Nguyen quickly called as the slightly covering stack.
Stacy Sesate: 8♠8♣
Hai Nguyen: J♦9♥
Sesate flopped a set of eights against the top pair of Nguyen who could not get away. She took her phone out to record the moment, and it was all over on the K♠ turn as Nguyen was drawing dead to the 2♥ river, and Sesate secured the full double.
Nguyen was left with just 1,500 and eliminated shortly after.
