Mendez Flops the Joint, Gets Paid by Nicholls
Level 5
: 400/800, 800 ante
Kai Nicholls raised to 1,600 in middle position and was called by Jeannette Mendez on the button, Martin Vittek in the small blind, and Mario Scalia in the big blind.
The flop came 10♥8♥5♥ and action checked to Mendez who bet 3,500. Only Nicholls called and the 7♥ fell on the turn.
Mendez then bet 3,500 and Nicholls called. The river was the 6♦ and Mendez bet 10,300. Nicholls called once more, and Mendez scored A♥J♥ for the flopped nut flush to win the pot.
