Nicholsen's Ace is Good

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Three players saw a flop of AJ8, creating a pot of about 8,000 and all three players checked to see the J on the turn.

John Cynn led out for 3,500 and Wayne Nicholsen called next to act before the third player in the hand got out of the way.

When the 9 landed on the river, both players knuckled the table. Cynn almost exposed his cards but Nicholsen tabled the A4, and Cynn dropped his cards face down as the dealer scooped them.
