Nahm Splashes Around
Stephen Nahm limped under the gun for 250,000 and was called by Amir Mirrasouli to his left, Zachary Peay, and both blinds.
The flop came 9♥4♠2♠ and all five players checked, bringing the K♠ and another round of checks. The river was the 8♥ and this prompted Nahm to lead for 300,000. Mirrasouli quickly called, as did Peay.
Nahm tabled Q♠10♠9♣J♦, declaring the second nuts. "So nice, paid off twice!", said Nahm, who was indeed awarded the pot.
Shortly after, Peay raised in early position to 875,000 which prompted Nahm to say, "Whoa, calm the fuck down, brother.", in reference to the larger sizing of his raise. It folded to Nahm in the big blind, who informed the dealer he needed to hit before putting in the call.
The spread the Q♦2♥8♥ and both players checked. When the 7♦ peeled they did the same. Finally, the 6♣ came on the river and Nahm threw out a bet of 975,000. Peay quickly folded and Nahm sprinted to the restroom again after being awarded the pot. He's had approximately ten beers now.
