Nelson Doubles with a Full House
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Chris Nelson open-jammed all-in for 79,000 under the gun. Action folded to the small blind and Scott Lake bet 170,000 which was enough to make Artashes Kartalyan in the big blind fold.
Chris Nelson: A♦10♥ 
Scott Lake: J♥J♠
The flop came 8♣5♠A♥ instantly pushing Nelson in the lead. The A♠ turn strengthened Nelson's hand with trips. Lake still had minimal outs to turn the tides but the river 5♣ double paired the board giving Nelson a full house and cementing his chip up to double.
