Anyone Want to Take a Ride with Nelly?

Nelly took with one hand and then gave away with the other as the poker gods balanced their books. It went down like this...

There was an early limp and then a player in mid position made it 800 to play before Nelly moved all in for over 4,000. The limper moved out of the way before the mid-position player called all in with {A-Clubs} {K-Spades} and was ahead of Nelly's {A-Spades} {Q-Clubs}.

The board ran {Q-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {7-Clubs} to give Nelly two pair and send his opponent packing.


The very next hand Nelly three bet a player in the cut-off before calling a four bet all in with {K-?} {K-?}. He was in great shape too against his opponent's {K-?} {Q-?} until the board came down {8-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {J-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}. Nelly congratulated his opponent and left with his bodyguard.
