Diamond Fold For Neilson
A recent hand at Daniel Neilson's table saw three players limp before the action was on Neilson on the button. It was here that Neilson raised it up to 1,750. The large bet didn't deter two players from making the call as Neilson and his opponents watched the 
flop hit the felt.
The play was checked to Neilson and he continued his aggression, flinging out 2,400. One caller came along for the ride as the 
landed on the turn.
Neilson's opponent jammed on the turn, getting his chips in almost as quickly as the third diamond hit the felt. It didn't take long for Neilson to let his hand go as he still sits behind a comfortable stack.
