Nuts?

With the board reading {a-Clubs}{6-Spades}{2-Spades}, Justin Filtz led out for 34,000 into Hafiz Khan. Khan called.

Both players checked the {9-Diamonds} on the turn, but after the {3-Hearts} rivered, Filtz led again - this time for 150,000.

"What a terrible river," Khan sighed.

His face showed that he wanted to fold, but he grabbed a stack of green T25,000 chips and splashed them into the pot.

"Nuts," Filtz said confidently, opening up {4-Spades}{3-Clubs} for just a pair of threes.

There was a beat.

"Annnnnnd I misread my hand," Filtz admitted.

Khan opened up {a-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} for two pair, and won the pot.

"You thought I had it too," Filtz chuckled.

"Yeah," Khan agreed. "It was probably a bad call."
