Not So Good for Nelly

Six players each paid 350 to see a flop of {J-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. Action checked to Nelly, who bet 1,500 before getting raised to 4,000 by a player in position. Everyone else folded and Nelly made the call.

Both players checked the {9-Diamonds} on the turn and Nelly bet 3,000 when the {5-Diamonds} appeared on the river. His opponent called and Nelly showed {A-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for top pair. It wasn't enough, as his opponent tabled {A-Hearts}{J-Spades} for top two and took the pot. Nelly's stack slipped to 21,500 after the hand.
