Nickens Quickens

After some preflop action, there was 55,000 in the middle when Jimmy Nickens pushed all in for a total of 141,000. It folded back around to Virgil Beddingfield, who made the call, leaving himself just 70,000 behind.

Nickens showed {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}, and Beddingfield tabled {J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. The board came {3-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{K-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}, and Nickens' fours held up. Nickens now has 225,000.
