Nelson is the River Hero
On the final hand of the day Lee Nelson picked up quite some chips when he made a really nice call against Oliver Speidel. We caught the action on a 
board when Speidel checked to Nelson who bet 150,000 in a reasonable pot. Nothing too crazy just yet, but than Speidel put out a raise to 380,000. Nelson went into the tank for a solid minute but than smoothly pushed forward the 230,000 needed for the call.
Speidel turned over 
, for just a pair of eights, and Nelson showed 
, for just a pair of jacks. The day is over and Nelson just scooped up a nice pot before bagging his chips.
