Nixon Choo-d Up and Spat Out

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

There was 9,300 in the middle at the turn with a board of Q♦J♥5♣8♠ and Jamie Nixon bet 8,000 from the button. Michael Choo in the hijack raised to 20,000, which was called by Nixon.

The 2♦ river appeared to be a brick, but Choo moved all in for 18,400 to put the Englishman deep into the tank. After asking the dealer for a second time to confirm the amount of the all-in bet Nixon elected to call. Choo turned over 8♣8♥ for the set, while Nixon grimaced and showed QxJx for a no-good flopped two pair.

Late position bet 1,400, while Coltrane Mendelsohn called from the button. The big blind also defended as the three players headed to the flop.

The flop came J♠4♥Q♦, and the big blind quickly checked. The preflop aggressor led out for 2,100, while both remaining players called.

While the turn peeled the A♥, big blind checked to the late position player. He bet 8,000 and both players called.

The 4♠ came on the river, and both early players checked. Mendelsohn fired for 21,000 and both other players folded.

With 28,000 in the middle, Shelby Wells bet 20,000 from middle position on the completed board of A♣4♣2♠K♦Q♣.

The button went deep into the tank and muttered "Either we have the same hand or you got a flush." The clock was called on them and the 30-second countdown expired. The button turned over A♠Q♥, which did not elicit a response from Wells who dragged in a big pot.
