Kenny Nguyen-ing

World Series of Poker Circuit Harrah's Chester Main Event winner Kenny Nguyen raised to 550 from the hijack, which cleared the field all the way to the big blind. A three-bet to 1,300 was made, Nguyen called, and the flop came down {2-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{J-Spades}.

The big blind simply moved all in and Nguyen snap-called off his stack of 2,900.

Nguyen: {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
Big Blind: {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

Nguyen was ahead and looking to dodge a king, queen, or ten. The {6-Hearts} turn was safe enough, leaving Nguyen with just one card to sweat. The dealer burned and slowly revealed the {6-Diamonds}. Nguyen's hand held and he let a little smile creep across his face. Nguyen is up to 8,650.

He's Got a Cantu Attitude

We were wandering by Table 4 and spotted Brandon Cantu in Seat 2; not only that, he had a massive stack in front of him. By our count, Cantu is up to 21,000 and primed to make a deep run in this event.

Potter Punts One to the Rail

A player ended up all in for his last 2,000 chips against Jason Potter.

Potter: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
All-In Player: {a-Spades}{6-Spades}

The flop came {k-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Diamonds} all but sealing the deal when it gave Potter kings full of fives. The turn and river were a meaningless {j-Spades} and {7-Hearts} and the other player was eliminated while Potter chipped up to 7,000.

We were doing another lap around the tournament floor and happened to discover Pierre “Zoutechamp” Neuville, 68, who many may know as the "PokerStars Serial Qualifier." Neuville made a name for himself after qualifying for numerous live events on PokerStars.

At the start of 2011, heading into the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, the Belgian Neuville had qualified for 17 European Poker Tour events in a row through PokerStars satellites. Not only that, Neuville cashed in 30% of the live events, which was an amazing feat in and of itself.

If you want to be like Neuville and win your way into poker tournaments around the world, all you have to do is visit PokerStars and play today. In the meantime, keep an eye on Neuville, who currently sits on 33,000 in this event and is poised to make a deep run.
