Nut-Nut-ing You Can Do

Level 25

Limit Hold'em

In a limped battle of the blinds, the flop of A82 was checked and Julien Sitbon bet the A turn, Ali Eslami folded.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Alexander Kostritsyn then raised from the cutoff and called a three-bet by Eslami in the small blind. Eslami check-called the Q64 flop and did so again on the 9 turn. Eslami then bet the 3 river and Kostritsyn raised to pick up a call.

Kostritsyn showed A762 for the nut nut - the nut low and nut flush - to scoop the pot.

Naoya Kihara then raised out of the small blind and Yueqi Zhu three-bet in the big blind. Kihara reraised and Zhu called all-in for 620,000 total.

Yueqi Zhu: AQ32 All in
Naoya Kihara: 9884

Zhu had a, "very good hand," but that became, "not anymore," on the KJ8 flop. He needed a ten to survive and instantly hit with the 10 turn, the 5 river was a blank and he doubled.

Kihara leaned back into his chair and sighed loudly.
