Nicholson Binks the River to Stack Chaoui
Level 17
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
David Nicholson shoved for 1,950,000 from the hijack and Mehdi Chaoui called for his stack of 1,355,000 on the button.
Mehdi Chaoui: A♠K♥ 
David Nicholson: A♣J♠
Chaoui had a great chance to double up, and took a step closer toward it after the Q♣Q♠9♦ flop. Though, a 9♣ on the turn dampened his spirits as the two currently held the same hand with ace-high and two pair on board.
However, Nicholson scooped the lot as the J♥ peeled off on the river, much to the dismay of Chaoui.
