Nixon Choo-d Up and Spat Out
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
There was 9,300 in the middle at the turn with a board of Q♦J♥5♣8♠ and Jamie Nixon bet 8,000 from the button. Michael Choo in the hijack raised to 20,000, which was called by Nixon.
The 2♦ river appeared to be a brick, but Choo moved all in for 18,400 to put the Englishman deep into the tank. After asking the dealer for a second time to confirm the amount of the all-in bet Nixon elected to call. Choo turned over 8♣8♥ for the set, while Nixon grimaced and showed QxJx for a no-good flopped two pair.
