Play Tightens

[user38449]

Often near the end of the evening, players put their conservative hats on hoping to cruise safely to the following day. Such was the case in a hand that recently went down between Jacques Zaicik and Sandra Naujoks.

We caught up to the hand on the flop, with the board showing {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{2-Diamonds}

. Timothy Finne checked, as did both Zaicik (EP) and Naujoks (CO). The {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

came on the turn and Finne passed the first action to Zaicik who led out with a 10,000 bet. Naujoks made the call and Finne tossed his cards into the muck pile.

The river brought the {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

and both Zaicik and Naujoks checked. At the showdown, Zaicik turned over the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

,

{4-Hearts}

for a wheel, but Naujoks one-upped him, tabling {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

,

{2-Hearts}

for the second nuts.

Naujoks piled up 70,000 in chips after the hand.
