Nyholm's Trap Pays Off
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Sondre Stormyr opened to 200,000 from under the gun and Joona Nyholm defended his big blind.
Nyholm check-called for 160,000 on the A♦7♥8♣ flop, bringing in the 9♣ turn. Nyholm checked and Stormyr bet 600,000. Nyholm mulled over his option, using two time banks before calling.
The Q♦ completed the board and Nyholm checked. Stormyr then took his time to make his decision, settling on an all-in. Nyholm snap-called for the 2,900,000 he had behind.
Stormyr had A♥9♦ for aces and nines, but Nyholm had slow played his 8♥8♦, which was good for a set..
