Big Double for Nicholson

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

With around 35,000 in the pot and a flop of {4-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}, Joseph Brattole checked and David Nicholson bet 12,000. Brattole then woke up with a check-raise to 34,000 and Nicholson moved all in for 91,000 more. Brattole thought long and hard before making the call.

Nicholson: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Brattole: {j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Nicholson was ahead with his kings, but the dealer burned and turned the {10-Spades} to give Brattole two pair. Much to Nicholson's relief, which was represented by a fist pump, the {4-Clubs} spiked on the river to counterfeit Brattole and give Nicholson the double.
