"Lookin for the right time to shoot my steam..."

Hey! Must be the money!
Hey! Must be the money!
A middle position player opened for 825, a late position player called, Roland De Wolfe called on the button and Nelly moved all in for 7,325 from the small blind. The middle position player folded, the late position player called and De Wolfe gave up his hand.

It was a classic race with Nelly's {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs} up against {6-Clubs} {6-Diamonds}. The flop didn't help him, coming down {J-Spades} {8-Clubs} {4-Diamonds}, but Nelly took the lead when the {10-Spades} hit the turn. The river was the {3-Diamonds} and Nelly got a much-needed double-up to 17,500.
