Nguyen Wins with Rockets

Level 9: 500/1,000 (1,000)
Entries: 153/318

Veli-Pekka Alakorva three-bet to 13,000 over an opener from the small blind before Linda Nguyen four-bet jammed for more than 20,000 from the big blind. The original player that opened folded and Alakorva called.

Linda Nguyen: A A
Veli-Pekka Alakorva: J 4

Nguyen was far ahead and the 10 9 10 flop left Alakorva drawing to a runner-runner. The Q turn gave Alakorva some hope for a straight but his open-ender didn’t complete with the 7 dealt on the river.

Veli-Pekka Alakorva – 80,000
Linda Nguyen – 45,000
