Nicholson Wins the Race, Cripples Iacovone

Donald Nicholson raised from middle position, and Michele Iacovone moved all in from the button. When it came back to Nicholson, he double-checked to make sure he had {6-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} and made the call. Iacovone had his man slightly covered, racing for the knockout with {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}.

There wasn't much of a sweat for the all-in player as the flop brought him a third six. In the end, the board of {6-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {3-?} made him sixes full and gave him the double up. He's moved to 515,000, leaving Iacovone crippled all the way down to just 55,000.
