Nichols Bounces Back
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
After suffering a brutal loss with a full house to quads, Christopher Nichols has bounced back with a series of doubles. The most recent double-up occurred when his opponent raised before Nichols responded with a re-raise to 9,000 from the cutoff. His opponent opted to shove, and Nichols called after giving it some thought for 31,000 to be at risk.
Christopher Nichols: K♥Q♥
Opponent: Q♦Q♣
Nichols needed help as his opponent had him crushed with queens. The flop did not bring any solace as it fanned out 9♥5♣A♥.
Nichols found the card he needed when the turn peeled the K♦ to pull Nichols ahead.
The 7♣ river completed the board and awarded Nichols the pot.
