"February $100,000" (Flight 1A): Nairn Drops Down, But Gets It All Back In An "Interesting" Hand

"February $100,000"
$360 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 7 (Blinds 250/500/75)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 63


Herbert Nairn is featured on back-to-back blog posts, which is a true rarity during tournament coverage.

Herbert Nairn (Florida) trended in the wrong direction after returning from break, and found his 67,000 stack down to 30,000, as Level 6 ended.  On the final hand of the level, four players limped, including Herbert (who was on the button).  Jason Thalus then three-bet to 2,900 from the small blind, with only Nairn making the call.  

The two players watched the dealer spread out a flop of 6 6♣ 7♣, with Thalus leading for 6,000.  Nairn took little time before shoving all-in (for 26,900), causing Thalus to go deep in the tank.  After about two minutes, Jason made the call, and the hands would be tabled.  Nairn turned over A♠ 5, for just ace-high, but was well ahead of Jason's K 2♣.  The 7 on the turn only strengthened Nairn's lead, with the 3♠ on the river sealing the double up Herbert.

Players at the table were left with the jaws on the table, questioning whether or not they actually witnessed a real hand.

Herbert Nairn - 62,000
