Nelson Turns a Straight
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Action was picked up with Chris Nelson the big blind, and Naoya Morozumi the hijack involved in a hand with roughly 21,000 in the pot and the board showing 5♦7♣10♥.
The turn brought the J♠ and Nelson checked to Morozumi, who bet out 12,000. Nelson then raised to 25,000, which Morozumi called.
After the Q♣ on the river both players checked, and Nelson said "I was worried you had ace king" and tabled 9♦8♦ for a straight, which made Morozumi muck his hand and give the pot to Nelson.
