Nurmuhammedov Traps With Aces
Parahat Nurmuhammedov raised to around 40,000 on the button and Eelis Parssinen three-bet out of the big blind to 140,000. Nurmuhammedov continued with a call.
Parssinen placed out a continuation-bet of 75,000 on the 5♦6♥5♠ flop. Nurmuhammedov just called.
A K♠ hit the turn and Parssinen went for the same bet of 75,000, which was met by a jam from Nurmuhammedov for 216,000. Parssinen seemingly didn't like it, but he put in the call to try and bust Nurmuhammedov.
Parahat Nurmuhammedov: A♥A♦
Eelis Parssinen: K♣2♠
Nurmuhammedov had slow played pocket aces and allowed Parssinen to catch up. Still, Parssinen could hit a king or deuce on the river to deliver the bad beat on Nurmuhammedov.
The dealer burned a card, then peeled out the 6♦ on the river to complete the board, and Nurmuhammedov's aces held up, earning him a double-up.
