Livello 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Action folded to Angel Guillen on the button who opened to 175,000. Aram Oganyan was in the small blind and flat called before Tracy Nguyen went all in for 550,000. With action back on Guillen he thought for a moment before making the call. Without too much thought Oganyan then back four bet jammed.

Guillen snap folded and Oganyan tabled his hand immediately. Nguyen saw the bad news and hit him with the ultimate reverse sweat by saying "nice hand" before she even tabled her cards.

Tracy Nguyen: A♠Q♣
Aram Oganyan: K♣K♥

The 4♦3♠2♣ flop gave her a gutter to the wheel and the 5♣ turn had Oganyan drawing dead. She hit a huge turn and got a much needed double late in day two.
