Good Card, Bad Card

[user75032]

Negative implied odds, as we understand them, represent the amount a player stands to lose if he hits his hand but that card has hit someone else in a bigger way. That's what happened to one of Lee Nelson's opponents. The {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

fell on the river to make the board {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{7-Clubs}

{8-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{J-Spades}

. All the money went in, with Nelson's opponent tabling {J-?}

{J-?}

{10-?}

for a rivered two pair. However the river also hit Nelson's {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

to make him a jack-high straight and the winning hand.

Nelson now has about 65,000 in chips.
