Nepo-whaaaa?

The player under the gun limped before the cutoff raised to 550. Alex "Jedi" Nepomnyaschiy called from the big blind and the under the gun player called as well.

The flop came down {Q-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {3-Clubs} and all three players checked.

The turn brought the {7-Clubs} and action checked to the cutoff. He fired a bet of 900 and only Nepomnyaschiy called.

After the river brought the {10-Hearts}, Nepomnyaschiy led for 3,100. As soon as his opponent tossed out the chips to make the call, Nepomnyaschiy announced "nuts," turning up the {K-Spades} {J-Diamonds} for the nut straight. His opponent quietly mucked his hand.

When asked to spell his last name, Nepomnyaschiy simply said, "Let me write it down, it's kinda long."
