Nguyen Doubles Up 2 years ago

As the sixth round of the shootout comes to an end, Anh Van Nguyen, crippled by Ram Vaswani when he folded to the Hendon Mobster on Fifth Street of a board that came 4h 3h 2c 5c 7c, checks his option in the big blind after the Crazy Horse limps-in from the small blind. The flop comes 7h 5c 2c and Vaswani checked to Nguyen, who bet out $20,000. Vaswani raised and was called, and the turn was the Tc, prompting Vaswani to bet out and Nguyen to raise all-in for $15,000 more.

Crazy Horse makes the call and shows Ks Kh to Nguyen's Th 5c for two pair and after the river is the Qd, Anh Van Nguyen has doubled through Ram Vaswani to keep the game at three-handed.

We're now on a fifteen minute level break but the action will resume shortly. In the meantime, current chip counts are as follows:

1.Andy Ward$1,440,000
2.Ram Vaswani$720,000
3.Anh Van Nguyen$230,000

Mosca Mutilated 2 years ago

As a very drunk Johnny Lodden berates Ram Vaswani from the rail ("Ram Vashwazi! Did you play that hand good?"), Vaswani cripples David Mosca after Mosca raises from UTG and Vaswani re-raises from the button. Mosca calls and the flop comes 5h 5c 4c. Mosca checks to Vaswani, who bets, and Mosca calls. The turn is the Qd and the same pattern is followed as Mosca check-calls again. The river is the 4s and again Mosca check-calls the Hendon Mobster, who turns up 4h 4d for quads to take the pot.

A few hands later, Mosca raises from the button for about half his stack and Vaswani is quick to re-raise. Action folds back to Mosca, who re-ups again and Vaswani caps it by putting his opponent all-in. Mosca shows Ac 2h and will need to improve against Vaswani's pocket tens, but cannot as the board comes Jd Js 9s 8h 6h to send him to the rail in fourth place. Mosca earns $58,968 for his time.

We're now three-handed, and here are the latest chip counts:

1.Andy Ward$1,350,000
2.Ram Vaswani$845,000
3.Anh Van Nguyen$200,000
