Cova Turns Nuts

We caught the action on the turn on a board of {8-Clubs}{3-Spades}{7-Spades}{9-Clubs}. The under-the-gun player led out with a bet of 850 before Noble Simpson popped it up to 2,000. Franco Cova then reraised again, making it 6,000 to go from the button. The UTG folded and Simpson thought for a minute before folding {A-?}{9-?} face up. It was the right move, as Cova flipped over {J-?}{10-?} for the nut straight.

Simpson is down to 31,000 with Cova now up to 33,500.
