Men Nguyen vs. Linda Johnson

Shooting Star Men Nguyen raises to 10,000 from middle position and Shooting Star Linda Johnson reraises to 30,000. Nguyen calls and they both see a flop of [9h7s5d]. Nguyen checks and then Johnson checks.

The turn is the [7d] and Nguyen checks again. Johnson bets 25,000 and Nguyen check-raises, making it 75,000 to play.  The amount represents half of Johnson’s remaining chips, as she only has around 100,000 behind.  She thinks long and hard before mucking.

Men Nguyen – 475,000 (119 BBs)
Linda Johnson – 100,000 (25 BBs)
