Nelson Recovering

Lee Nelson has been chipping back up as Rainer Quel adopts a tight strategy for this heads-up contest.

In a recent pot Quel raised to 36,000 preflop and Nelson made the call.

The board of {10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{4-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{10-Hearts} was checked through to the river where Quel fired 45,000. Nelson made the call.

Quel tabled {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{9-Spades} but Nelson had paired his king with {J-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. Nelson is very close to back to even in chips once again!

Quel Cripples Nelson

On a flop of {6-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{10-Spades} Lee Nelson checked to Rainer Quel who fired out a pot-sized bet of 60,000. Nelson then check-raised the pot to 240,000. Quel deliberated before moving all in for 305,000 and Nelson called.

Quel: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}{K-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Nelson: {10-Hearts}{J-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades}

Nelson held two pair but the turn was the {K-Clubs} and river the {Q-Hearts} to make a broadway straight for Quel as he scoops the pot to leave Nelson down to only 50,000 in chips.

We're All Even

Lee Nelson limped from the button and Rainer Quel checked his option in the big blind.

They saw a flop of {10-Spades}{Q-Spades}{5-Spades} and Nelson checked to Quel who tossed out the minimum 10,000. Nelson made the call.

The turn was the {9-Hearts} and both players checked. The river brought the {9-Spades} and Nelson fired 25,000 which Quel called.

Nelson tabled {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{6-Clubs} for the king-high straight as Quel mucked.

"Ah, so you're a non-believer!" giggled Nelson as the chip counts are now back to dead-even.
