Nicholls Spikes the River to Double
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
With around 40,000 in the pot on a board of 8♠J♣6♠10♣, Kai Nicholls bet 56,000 from the small blind, leaving a single 1,000 chip behind, and Jose Cayetano moved all in from the hijack. Nicholls called off his last chip.
Cayetano showed J♦9♦ for top pair and a straight draw, while Nicholls had Q♠2♠ for straight and flush draws. The river was the 7♠ and Nicholls made his flush to win the pot and double up.
At the same table, Kyle Dishongh has built up a stack of around 250,000 and has a few South Park character figurines surrounding his chip stack.
