Pinto Flops the Nuts

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

On a three-way flop of {q-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}, Cornelis de Jong bet 140,000 with {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs} in the hijack and he was called by Martin Jacobson in the big blind with {q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for top two pair and Ricardo Pinto first to act with {a-Spades}{k-Spades}. The {a-Hearts} came on the turn and once again action checked to de Jong, who bet 140,000 for the second street in a row.

Jacobson called and Pinto just called once more with the nuts to see the {2-Hearts} on the river. Jacobson checked and Pinto moved all in for 465,000. De Jong folded and Jacobson needed a time extension before letting go.

Check out what Martin had to say about the hand:
