Nuts vs. Second-Nuts

Patrick Chan opened to 20,000 from the hijack seat. Art Pappas called on the button, and the dealer fanned {8-Spades}{k-Spades}{5-Hearts}. Chan led for 20,000, Pappas called, and the turn brought the {q-Spades}.

Chan led again - this time for 50,000 - and Pappas called.

The {3-Spades} completed the board, and Chan emptied the chamber, firing a third and final bullet worth 200,000. Pappas called with {k-Clubs}{j-Spades} for the second-nut straight, but Chan tabled {a-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for the nuts.

He increased his stack to 740,000, while Pappas slipped to 330,000.
