Quel Claims Chip Lead

[user67765]

Rainer Quel

In a rare limped pot the two players took a flop of {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{8-Hearts}

. Quel checked to Nelson who fired 15,000. Quel then check-raised to 45,000. Nelson asked for a count before making a call.

The turn was the {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

and Quel fired out a pot-sized bet of 110,000. Nelson quipped, "You're real nervous, but I just can't tell if you're nervous about a big hand," before putting his opponent all in. Quel made the call.

Quel: {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{7-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{9-Hearts}

Nelson:

{2-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

{5-Clubs}

{7-Spades}

Quel improved to a ten-high straight on the river when the {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

landed which was too good for Nelson's three pair.

Despite Nelson's dominant performance at this final table, with two double ups, Quel now has the chip advantage.
