Nahm Spikes the Turn to Bust Savocka in a Massive Pot
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Stephen Nahm and David Savocka engaged in a massive pre-flop raising war that ended with Savocka all in for 1,800,000 from the button as Nahm had him covered in early position.
David Savocka: A♥K♥
Stephen Nahm: Q♣Q♥
Nearly 4,000,000 was at stake as the flop came 8♣6♥A♦, giving Savocka top pair and the lead. The turn, though, was the Q♦ to give Nahm a set. The river was the 2♦ and Nahm scooped the pot to send Savocka to the rail while moving into contention for the tournament chip lead.
"Can I go to bed now?" Nahm said after the hand.
"You can go to the restaurant. Take a longer dinner break," another tablemate joked with him.
