200 Big Blind Pot Played Without Any Pairs
Nazar Buhaiov opened to 1,200 in early position and the button called before Nolan King three-bet to 4,200 in the small blind. Jean-Pierre van der Spuy cold-called in the big blind and both other players called.
King continued for 7,500 on the flop of 2?5?10? and only Van der Spuy called. King then bet all in with a stack of 49,000 on the Q? turn and Van der Spuy called off with a stack of 37,500.
"I need to hit something," said King.
"So do I," replied van der Spuy.
Jean-Pierre van der Spuy: A?4?
Nolan King: K?9?
Neither player had a pair and Van der Spuy was ahead with ace-high to be in front of King's king-high before the A? river improved him to a pair of aces for a double.
"Us two guys all in on the turn and neither of us have jack shit," laughed Van der Spuy. "I love poker!"
"I hate poker," replied King.
