Neilson Gets Caught In The Cookie Jar

With a cutoff raise to 850 and a flat call from Adam Levy on the button, Daniel Neilson put on the squeeze to 3,150. The cutoff folded but Levy made the call to see a flop of {5-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{J-Spades}.

Neilson checked and Levy bet 2,900. Neilson then check-raised to 15,000 which was enough to put Levy to a decision for his last chips. It wasn't much of a decision as he quickly called.

Neilson: {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Levy: {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

How do you spell "Oooooops"? Neilson was pulling one helluva move but it backfired as Levy showed a set of jacks.

"Well, this would be a bad way to go..." said a surprised Levy as Neilson would need a brutal runner-runner to send him to the rail. It wasn't to be, as the {6-Clubs} turn and {8-Spades} river gave Levy the double up. He's up to 35,000 with Neilson back to 17,600.
