"Big Sexy" Nezhoda Takes From Cheng and Jones

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

"Let's see if I can win one this time against my two nemesis," Steven Jones grinned as he headed to a three-way flop alongside Rene Nezhoda and Victor Cheng. The A104 flop was checked to Cheng, who bet 4,500 and received two calls.

"I am on a wheel draw," the jovial Nezhoda said moments before the 3 fell on the turn. This time, they checked through and Nezhoda then bet the 3 river for 6,200. Cheng folded and Jones reluctantly folded as well.

Nezhoda flashed the A before raking in the pot and then exclaimed "just call me big sexy" when the live reporting team eyeballed his stack.
