Neilson Ships Monster Without Raising a Sweat

The ever-casual Daniel Neilson was just involved in a monster pot - not that you could tell by his relaxed body language, as shipping big pots is nothing new to this young gun.

In a strange hand, Neilson limped under the gun and two more players followed suit before the big blind raised to 1,000. Neilson then made it 3,000 to go as the limpers got out of the way before the big blind called.

On the {2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop things got a little crazy. In a quick succession of bets, the big blind checked, Neilson bet 3,800, the big blind check-raised to 10,000 and Neilson moved all in. The big blind immediately open-folded his pocket kings, conceding that Neilson had a monstrous hand.

Neilson moves up to 35,000 chips.
