Nakamura Rivers the Nuts
Level 18
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
Limit Hold'em
Andrew Barfield raised on the button and Tamon Nakamura defended his big blind.
Nakamura led out on the 4?K?9? flop and Barfield called. The turn came the 8? and Barfield called another bet.
The river was the J? and Nakamura led out for a third time. "You're running good," Barfield said as he pondered the decision, a comment that elicited a chuckle from the Japanese pro.
Barfield eventually called. "Nuts," Nakamura said as he turned over A?7? for the flush. Barfield flashed A?K?.
"Don't give it to him next time," Barfield said to the dealer as the table went off on break.
