Nicholson Sets the Trap, More than Doubles
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Wayne Nicholson limped in from under the gun and Timothy Holt came in for the same amount from early position. Koveh Waysei then raised to 140,000 from middle position before Nicholas Gerrity three-bet to 405,000 from the cutoff.
The action folded back to Nicholsen, who went all-in for a little bit more. Holt and Waysei both weighed their options but settled on folds and Gerrity put in the few extra chips necessary.
Wayne Nicholson: Q♠Q♣
Nicholas Gerrity: A♠Q♥
Nicholson was a big favorite with his pocket queens, and when the board ran out 2♣8♥K♥4♣J♥, he won the pot without much of a sweat.
