Will A Different Nguyen Win the Closer?
PokerNews went over to talk to Men "The Master" Nguyen to see if he knew if Minh Nguyen, the winner from last year was entered in the tournament this year. Men Nguyen stated that he actually does not know Minh Nguyen that won last year and that one of his students had the same name but was a different person.
As PokerNews was at the table this hand was witnessed with a different Nguyen in it ironically.
Hai Nguyen raised from the the hijack position to 6,000 and the player in the cutoff three-bet all in for 23,100 and everyone else folded and Nguyen made the call.
Cutoff player: A♦10♣
Hai Nguyen: A♦5♣
The board came K♥5♠9♣8♦9♠ and a completely different Nguyen won the pot with two pair achieved the knockout.
Hai Nguyen said, "So I am sitting next to Men "The Master" Nguyen?"
Men "The Master" Nguyen said, "One third of the country has the name Nguyen", which triggered a laugh.
