Nelly Knocks One Out

Nelly, now in the big leagues.
Nelly, now in the big leagues.

We caught up to the action at Table 52 to find a player in early position make it 500 to anyone who wanted to see a flop. Action was next on Nelly who sat there contemplating what he wanted to do next. Before Nelly could decide on how he wanted to play the hand the next player to act moved all in for 6,000. The dealer informed the player that it wasn't his turn and gave him his chips back. Nelly then smooth called. The player who tried to go all in out of turn then attempted to fold, but the table stopped him and an argument began about what that player is allowed to do so the floor was called. After being explained the situation the floor ruled that the player was indeed all in.

Action folded around to Nick Binger who sat in silence for a few moments, before he realised he was still in the hand. He folded and told the table "I thought I folded ages ago". The action eventually folded to the player in early position who angrily folded his cards. Nelly then instantly called the all in and cards were tabled.

Nelly: {A-}{A-}
Opponent: {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}

The cards then came out {k-Clubs}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and Nelly was awarded the pot as his pair aces trumped his opponents pair of fours.
