Lester Edoc

Quang Minh Nguyen raised from under the gun to 160,000 and Lester Edoc three-bet the big blind to 500,000. Nguyen called.

They went to a flop of 9 Q 6 , where Edoc continued for 400,000 and Nguyen called.

On the J turn, Edoc shoved, and Nguyen snap-called for his stack of 1,260,000.

Quang Minh Nguyen: 6 6

Lester Edoc: K K

Nguyen had flopped a set and was well ahead of Edoc's kings, but did need to fade a few outs on the river. It was mission successful for Nguyen as the A river changed nothing, earning him the chip lead.
