"Don't Give the Fat Boy Chips"; Nezhoda Doubles Off Chang
Nevan Chang raised to 160,000 in early position as the table folded around to the blinds. While the action went to him, Rene Nezhoda was chatting with table neighbor Niklas Astedt about all the bad beats they've been involved with so far this tournament.
"That's poker. We've all given it out, we've all taken it," Nezhoda said. He called in the big blind, as did small blind Edward Pak.
Chang continued for 350,000 on the K?10?3? flop and Pak folded. Nezhoda, though, moved all in for 1,195,000.
"I can stand up, right? My hand's not dead? I don't want to have a heart attack," Nezhoda said as he got up from his seat. Chang tanked for more than three minutes before calling.
Rene Nezhoda: K?Q?
Nevan Chang: A?J?
Nezhoda was ahead with top pair, while Chang had a straight draw. The turn was the 9?, while the 10? fell on the river to seal Nezhoda's double up.
"That's usually how I bust out of tournaments. Don't give the fat boy chips," the former Storage Wars star said as he sat back in his seat.
