Nielsen Doubles With Quads Over Flush
Level 12
: Blinds 0/0, 2,500 ante
On a flop of Q♥9♥6♠, Dong Chen and Martin Nielsen got all of the chips in the middle, with Nielsen at risk.
Martin Nielsen: 6♣6♦
Dong Chen: 8♥10♥
Nielsen was currently ahead with his set of sixes, but he was only a 55% favorite against Chen's massive straight and flush combo draw.
The turn came the 6♥, and Nielsen groaned as Chen hit the flush, but then he realized he had quad sixes! But he still wasn't out of the woods yet, as Chen could still hit the 7♥ or J♥ for a straight flush.
Fortunately for Nielsen, the river came the brick Q♦ and he scored a massive double-up from Chen.
