Strong Takes a Big Hit

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

The stack of Rodrigo Strong has been halved and the Brazilian was soon after moved to a different room. Before that happened, he lost a big pot to Ian Nelson after trying to get his opponent out of the hand on the {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} turn. Strong's shove was called by Nelson with {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts} for the overpair, while the Brazilian had {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for the nut flush draw.

Neither a diamond nor the ace, but rather the blank {7-Hearts} appeared on the river and Nelson doubled for 23,125.
