Nuts
Paren Arzoomanian and Daniel Stacey have been locking horns for the past few hands and a potentially key hand just played out.
Arzoomanian raised to 60,000 preflop and Stacey made the call. A draw heavy flop was greeted with a check from Stacey and a bet of 75,000 from Arzoomanian. Stacey called, taking the hand to the turn.
Stacey checked again and Arzoomanian kept his foot firmly on the gas, setting the price to see the river at 125,000. Stacey wasted no time in calling and the dealer placed the onto the river where Stacey led for 182,000.
"You like this check-call, check-call, lead on the river, don't you?" said Arzoomanian, but Stacey didn't reply. Arzoomanian pushed stack of 25,000 chips forward that were worth 600,000 and Stacey looked him up.
"Nuts," said Arzoomanian before turning over for the nut straight, besting the of Stacey that had improved to an expensive second-best hand.
