Cullen Almost Folds The Nuts

Level 23 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Harry Cullen just doubled up and it's a good thing he took a second look at his hand , or else he'd have regretted seeing this hand on TV.

AJ Jejelowo raised on the button and Cullen defended his big blind. The flop came down {J-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and Cullen led out 32,000. Jejelowo called to see the {A-Hearts} turn and both checked. The river fell the {K-Spades} and Cullen checked. Jejelowo shoved with the big stack, putting Cullen to the decision for his remaining 155,000.

As Cullen began to slide his cards toward the dealer, he brought them back to take one last look. Good thing he did.

"Call," he announced, showing {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for the nut straight. "I was only looking at the clubs," confessed Cullen. Jejelowo took it well, dropping about 20% of his stack that hand. Cullen meanwhile, is up to about 430,000.
