Phillips Pushes Out Nelson on River
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
This hand was picked up on the flop of Q♦5♣8♣ with over 40,000 in the middle.
Chris Nelson checked his option from under the gun before Thomas Phillips put out a bet of 20,000. Nelson called to keep the pot heads up.
The 10♣ turn resulted in a round of checks to bring the 7♥ river. Nelson checked his option yet again, but Phillips got back to betting with a wager of 66,000. Nelson gave it some thought but chose to fold as Phillips took in the chips.
