Nelson Picks Up Some Chips

Nelson Robinson
Nelson Robinson

The two big stacks have just rumbled in the following hand. Nelson Robinson opened it up with a min-raise preflop and Rocco Palumbo called.The {2-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop would see both players check and a {9-Clubs} land on the turn. This time Robinson would bet 105,000 and Palumbo would call. On the {10-Diamonds} river, Robinson again led, this time betting 225,000.

It took Palumbo quite some time to make his decision, but he ended up calling and then mucking when Robinson tabled {j-}{10-} for a pair of tens.
