Santiago Nadal just more than doubled his stack after winning a race against Alexander Carr.
The action started with Dwyte Pilgrim who opened to 35,000. Nadal three-bet all-in to 213,000 and Carr isolated to more than 300,000.
Calvin Kordus, one of our resident chip leaders, went deep into the tank...or so it seemed.
"You know it's on you, right?" one of the players inquired.
Kordus awoke from a brief daydream and folded his cards. The action proceeded to fold back to Pilgrim who quickly released and the two hands were tabled:
Nadal:
Carr:
The flop fell .
"Eso!!!!!!!" Nadal's rail yelled. (Eso is casual spanish for "yeah" or "yes" during celebration.)
The on the turn was no help to Carr, and he was drawing to a ten going to the river. The bricked, and Nadal raked it the pot to a chorus of "eso's."
Nadal's stack ballooned to 475,000 chips and Carr's sunk to 115,000.
