Merkow Wins with Choctaw Nuts

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

In a limped pot, the flop came {j-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and after his opponent, Smith Collins checked, Gregg Merkow bet 3,500 and Collins called.

The turn was the {2-Spades} and both players checked.

But on the river {4-Hearts} Merkow bet 6,500 and his Smith folded.

"Should I show them what I have?" Merkow asked the guy next to him.

"Of course you should," the player replied.

And with that Merkow showed the table {j-Spades}{2-Diamonds} the stone-cold Choctaw Nuts for those that are familiar with the North Texas/Oklahoma term
