Stumpf Out-Nuts the Nuts

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Nathaniel Stumpf
Nathaniel Stumpf

The table folded around to Nate Stumpf in the hijack, who opted to open to 1,800. Christopher Audrain called in the small blind, and they were off to a flop heads up.

Audrain checked the {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Clubs} flop, after which Stumpf put out 2,200. Audrain added a gray 5k to the mix, check-raising to 7,200. Stumpf called.

The {5-Hearts} turn fell, and Audrain fired 16,000. Stumpf ripped in his stack, and Audrain rose from his seat, asking for a count. The dealer counted 58,700 total, and Audrain took a moment to stare Stumpf down before making the call, asking him, "Do you have a heart?" as he threw in a handful of 5ks.

Stumpf: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Audrain: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}

With Audrain drawing dead versus the nut flush, the {a-Clubs} river was irrelevant, and he shipped a chunk of his healthy stack across the table to Stumpf.
