Nuevo's King Holds and Improves to a Full House

David Sarabia

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Daniel Nuevo opened from early position and picked up two callers, including Guillem Nuez in the big blind.

The flop came 9♥K♣8♦. Nuez checked and Nuevo bet 3,000. The player to Nuevo's left then moved all-in for 39,000, prompting Nuez to fold.

After more than a minute in the tank, Nuevo tossed in a chip to call.

Middle Position: 7♠6♠ All in
Daniel Nuevo: K♥J♦

Nuevo needed his pair of kings to hold. The 8♥ turn was safe, and the 8♣ river improved him to a full house, sealing the elimination.
