Albert Nguyen open raised to 8,500, and Anthony Khoury, after preparing a raising amount, startled the crowd with a flat call. The flop was checked by both players, and Nguyen placed his delayed continuation bet on the turn, dropping 10,500 in front of him. Khoury called.
When the river appeared, Nguyen was quick on the draw, and fired 23K. Khoury thought for a while, then lifted his head for the first time of the hand and looked at his opponent’s face. He finally announced all-in, sending Nguyen to the tank. It was 74K on top to call, and call he did.
