Donald Nicholson - Runner-Up

On just the second hand of heads-up play, Bart Tichelman had the button and announced, "Raise." Before Tichelman had announced the size of the raise, Donald Nicholson moved all in. Tichelman called and the players showed:

Tichelman: {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{4-Hearts}

Nicholson: {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{8-Spades}

The flop was decent for Tichelman as it came {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

{3-Spades}

. The

{K-Diamonds}

on the turn however was the best card Tichelman could see. It meant Nicholson was drawing dead and he had captured the title. Amongst the chaos, the dealer put down the meaningless {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

on the river. Donald Nicholson is our runner-up and will take home $236,163 for his strong finish.
