Nicholls Finds a Call to Bust an Opponent
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Kyle Dishongh bet 5,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 8♣6♣5♦ and Kai Nicholls called on the button. A player in middle position then moved all in for 27,500.
Dishongh tanked for a minute until folding, while Nicholls also considered the decision for a minute but he eventually decided to call.
All-in player: 10♣9♣ 
Kai Nicholls: J♠J♦
Nicholls found himself ahead with his jacks, while his opponent had straight and flush draws. The J♥ turn improved Nicholls to a set, while the river was the 3♦ to earn him the knockout.
"If you weren't behind me, I beat him into the pot. I had queen-jack of clubs," Dishongh told NIcholls after the hand.
