"Standoff23"
"Standoff23"

In Level 22 with blinds of 8,000/16,000, a blind-on-blind battle between "Standoff23" in the small blind and "marysgotqueens" in the big blind saw all of the chips get into the middle on the turn with a borad of {k-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{6-Diamonds}.

"Standoff23": {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
"marysgotqueens": {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

"Standoff23" got it in with top set and needed to fade their opponent's nut flush draw. The river came {j-Hearts} and the pot of 667,000 was shipped their way, putting them within two big blinds of the chip lead that Chris “rumpthumper” White holds.
