"He Shipped Bottom Pair On Me" - The Daniel Neilson Story

On the turn with the board reading {3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} Daniel Neilson led the turn into his cut-off opponent. The cut-off responded by shipping his stack into the middle with {7-Spades}{3-Spades}.

Neilson made the call with his {K-Clubs}{k-Hearts} over pair and made two pair on the river {5-Hearts}.

Scott Kerr who is also seated at Neilson's table summed the situation up. "Your pretty much blessed, I'd love for someone to push all-in on me with bottom pair and no draw". (The opponent did have a gutshot draw though)

The pot effectively doubles Neilson up to 94,000.
