Nurding Gets Paid

Kirk Brown

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

On a flop of A?A?2?, Alex Nurding bet 1,500 but was then raised to 3,200 by Christopher Smith. The rest of the players got out of the way and Nurding called to see the 4? on the turn.

Nurding then checked to Smith, who continued for 2,200, but then it was Nurding's turn to raise and he made it 10,000 to go.

After a few seconds, Smith tossed in the call and the two went to the river 2?, which double-paired the board.

Nurding then bet 25,000 and Smith went deep into the tank. After almost two minutes, he made the call, but was shown A?10? by Nurding for a full house and he quickly mucked. This win brings Nurding up to 136,000 and is one of the biggest stacks so far.
