Nakamura Rivers the Nuts
Level 18
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
Limit Hold'em
Andrew Barfield raised on the button and Tamon Nakamura defended his big blind.
Nakamura led out on the 4♣K♥9♣ flop and Barfield called. The turn came the 8♠ and Barfield called another bet.
The river was the J♣ and Nakamura led out for a third time. "You're running good," Barfield said as he pondered the decision, a comment that elicited a chuckle from the Japanese pro.
Barfield eventually called. "Nuts," Nakamura said as he turned over A♣7♣ for the flush. Barfield flashed A♦K♠.
"Don't give it to him next time," Barfield said to the dealer as the table went off on break.
