Pipes Start Calling More Loudly for Nealon

[user75032]

We have to imagine that there was no way Fergal Nealon was getting away from his hand on a flop of {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{A-Diamonds}

{A-Clubs}

. Nealon, who got all in with Brian Powell after a series of raises, tabled {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Clubs}

for three aces. Nealon had flopped a small full houses, {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{9-Hearts}

, and had to sweat two streets to see if Nealon could catch a bigger full house. He could not. The turn {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

and river

{6-Spades}

improved no one.

Powell's stack was counted down at 317,000. With the amount already in the pot, he doubled to about 680,000 while Nealon fell to 168,000.
