Nguyen Springs Trap on Cutshall

Written by Kirk | Nov 17, 2024 10:12:57 PM

Gunther Nguyen opened to 30,000 preflop and was then three-bet to 80,000 by Wes Cutshall to his left, which he called once the action folded back to him. 

On the flop of Q♠3♥4♠, Nguyen checked, Cutshall bet 65,000, and after some theatrics, Nguyen called. 

The turn came the K♦ and Nguyen checked once more to Cutshall, who moved all in, and resulted in a snap-call from Nguyen. 

Cutshall tabled 6♣7♣ for just a gutshot while Nguyen proudly Q♣Q♦ for a set of queens. 

Only a five on the river could defeat Nguyen, but it was the K♠, pairing the board and improving Nguyen to a full house to claim the pot. 

Nguyen - 640,000
Cutshall - 260,000
