Nielsen on Fire

[user140525]

A few hands after taking a 280,000-chip pot from Kai Paulsen, Kenny Nielsen tangled with Victorino Torres. Nielsen raised to 28,000 under the gun, and it folded all the way around to Torres, who defended his big blind.

Flop: {a-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} - Torres checked to Nielsen, who bet 30,000. Torres called.

Turn: {8-Hearts} - Torres check-called another 55,000.

River: {8-Hearts} - This time, Torres decided to take the reigns, betting 75,000. It took Nielsen a good three minutes to decide what to do, but he made the right decision. As soon as he called, Torres tapped the table and went to muck. He waited to see Nielsen's {6-Hearts} {6-Spades} before giving up his cards though. Nielsen is nearing 700,000.
