Neilson Avoids Disaster

[user67765]

Daniel Neilson

On a flop of {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{8-Clubs}

James Ciurlionis led the betting for 625 before Daniel Neilson popped it up to 1,900. Ciurlionis decided to just flat call as the {q-Clubs}

{q-Clubs}

was a scary looking turn card resulting in checks by both players.

The river was the {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

and Ciurlionis fired 950 with Neilson making the call.

Ciurlionis tabled {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{6-Hearts}

for a flopped straight that held on, as Neilson mucked {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{10-Clubs}

for a flopped set!

"You re-raise the flop, I'm all in," quipped a relieved Neilson, as he still hangs on to 14,000 in chips and avoids being felted.
