Lee Nelson Calls His Cards and Doubles

Lee Nelson, from Day 1b
Lee Nelson, from Day 1b
Lee Nelson and Chris Roh have tangled early today, with Roh taking the worst of it. Roh opened the pot for 2,800, bringing the action to Nelson, who moved all in.

"How much is it?" Roh asked the dealer. She counted down 20,800. Roh didn't believe the count and then counted it down himself, coming up with the same 20,800.

"Ok, I call," he said. He was dismayed to see Nelson turn over {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}, a hand that dominated Roh's {K-Hearts} {J-Hearts}.

"Ace of hearts," Nelson told the dealer. "Make it interesting." He got his wish. The flop of {A-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {8-Hearts} gave Nelson top pair but gave Roh a gutshot straight draw and a flush draw. Both missed on the {9-Spades} turn.

"Three of spades," Nelson instructed the dealer, pointing at the spot on the felt where the river would appear. She complied by delivering the {3-Spades}, allowing Nelson to double up to 44,000 and knocking Roh back to 42,000.

"If I knew you were gonna call with king-jack suited, I'd have called last time," joked Nelson, referring to an earlier hand.
