Nixon Binks the River For an Unlikely Double
Level 14
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Rudy Nixon had his last 168,000 in preflop from middle position, and Brian Carrubba, who already had 50,000 invested, made the call, asking, "You got aces?"
Rudy Nixon: 
Brian Carrubba: 
Nixon's queens were in bad shape against the kings of his opponent, and a 
flop and 
turn offered no help to Nixon. The 
river caused Carrubba to slump in his seat, before sending a big chunk of his stack across to Nixon.
