Anderson, Costa Both Show the Nuts
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Calvin Anderson bet 17,000 from middle position on a flop of K♦Q♠7♠ and Christopher Costa called in the hijack.
The turn was the 10♦ and Anderson paused for a minute before betting 63,000. Costa also took more than a minute until shoving all in for 250,000, and Anderson snap-called.
Costa showed A♠Q♥J♠9♦2♣ for the nut straight, while Anderson also had the straight with A♣J♦J♣6♦6♠. The river was the Q♣ and they made sure Costa didn't improve to a full house before chopping up the lengthy pot.
"It's nice that it only took 20 minutes when you both had the nuts," tablemate Ray Fishman said.
