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
