Two Monster Hands Leaves Magnus on Crumbs
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Picking up the action on the turn with around 20,000 in the middle, Nadya Magnus and Adam Walton were heads-up on a board of Q♥6♣3♣J♦. Magnus led out with a bet of 17,000 and Walton pushed all in for 53,000. Magnus gave it some thought and then eventually made the call.
Adam Walton: Q♣J♣
Nadya Magnus: K♣10♣
Walton turned two pair to go with his flush draw but Magnus had the better flush draw and a straight draw to go with it. The river was the K♠ which paired Magnus but it was not enough to overcome the two pair of Walton, leaving Magnus with just a few big blinds.
