Nelson Turns a Straight
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Action was picked up with Chris Nelson the big blind, and Naoya Morozumi the hijack involved in a hand with roughly 21,000 in the pot and the board showing 5?7?10?.
The turn brought the J? and Nelson checked to Morozumi, who bet out 12,000. Nelson then raised to 25,000, which Morozumi called.
After the Q? on the river both players checked, and Nelson said "I was worried you had ace king" and tabled 9?8? for a straight, which made Morozumi muck his hand and give the pot to Nelson.
