Nlemchi Flops the Nuts to Triple
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 500 ante
Will Leffingwell opened to 4,000 and was three-bet to 15,000 by Alex Green and then Ike Nlemchi moved all in for 9,800.
Leffingwell called the 15,000 and the three players went to a flop of J♠7♠2♠.
Leffingwell then lead-jammed for around 14,000 and Green quickly folded, leaving just Leffingwell and Nlemchi.
"I just hope you don't have a set," Nlemchi said as he tabled his hand...
Ike Nlemchi: A♠10♥8♥6♠
Will Leffingwell: A♦K♠J♦2♣
It was true Leffingwell did not have a set, but he did have outs with two pair versus the nut flush of Nlemchi.
The turn A♥ gave Leffingwell even more outs with three pair, but the river was the brick 6♦ and Nlemchi was awarded the main pot while Leffingwell took the side pot.
