Crab Pinches Pot from Nieberg

[user4144]

Matt Nieberg made a standard raise to 1,525 from the button, but before his chips had barely hit the felt, James Tomlin was all in for 9,525. Matthew Jarvis folded his big blind with a grimace.

"I would have snapped you," claimed Nieberg pointing at Jarvis, "but you, I'm going to need a count."

"You're so ****ing tight," sighed Nieberg with in frustration.

"I'm always tight," came the reply.

Eventually, Nieberg made the call, showing {A-Clubs} {10-Hearts} to Tomlin's {A-Hearts} {3-Spades} .

"I wasn't trying to nitroll you there," added Nieberg.

Once the flop came {2-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} , I don't think Tomlin cared either way. Jarvis, meanwhile, would rather he had looked away as he confessed: "I had {A-} {2-} , I probably would have gone all in."

The turn was the {2-Hearts} (Jarvis flinched again), and after a {K-Diamonds} river, Tomlin had doubled through. Nieberg, meanwhile, sank right back down to 3,500.
