Tabidze Spikes the River
Level 6
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
After a preflop betting war, all the chips found their way into the middle between Irakli Tabidze and Andrew Nguyen, with Nguyen having the shorter stack.
Andrew Nguyen: J♠J♥
Irakli Tabidze: K♠K♣
Tabidze was well in the lead with his pocket kings, but the flop of 7♠J♣Q♣ gave Nguyen a big boost as he hit a set of jacks to pull ahead.
However, the battle was quite over as the turn 9♣ brought in a ton of outs for Tabidze, as any club, ten, or king would give him the victory.
Sure enough, the river fell the brutal K♥ to give him a superior set of kings to take the pot and sent Nguyen to the rail.
