For the Nguyen

There is about 5,000 in the middle and the board reads [4s][3d][3c][6c]. Playing from early position, David Peters sits stoically, then sets out a bet of 1,600. This action moves to Tom Nguyen across the table, and after a brief pause he sets his entire stack of 6,850 forward for an all-in raise.

Peters continues to sit quietly for about 15 seconds, then lets his hand go. He’s had a good level-and-a-half today prior to that small setback.

"I couldn’t let you see the river," says Nguyen with a grin. "I almost did… I learned my lesson," he adds, alluding to an earlier hand between the two.

David Peters – 42,000
Tom Nguyen – 12,500
