200 Big Blind Pot Played Without Any Pairs

Nazar Buhaiov opened to 1,200 in early position and the button called before Nolan King three-bet to 4,200 in the small blind. Jean-Pierre van der Spuy cold-called in the big blind and both other players called.

King continued for 7,500 on the flop of 2♣5♥10♠ and only Van der Spuy called. King then bet all in with a stack of 49,000 on the Q♥ turn and Van der Spuy called off with a stack of 37,500.

"I need to hit something," said King.

"So do I," replied van der Spuy.

Jean-Pierre van der Spuy: A♥4♥
Nolan King: K♠9♠

Neither player had a pair and Van der Spuy was ahead with ace-high to be in front of King's king-high before the A♠ river improved him to a pair of aces for a double.

"Us two guys all in on the turn and neither of us have jack shit," laughed Van der Spuy. "I love poker!"

"I hate poker," replied King.
