Triple checked the nuts like Johnny Chan vs Erick Seidel
 

It was beautifully done vs 2 opponents. Here's my story.

$200 buy in, 25k starting chips, borgata spring open.

I've created a loose image throughout the tournament in order to get more calls on the the strong hands I pick up. Which was none btw. Had to grind it out. Okay moving on...


I have about 110k chips. Early position and pick up QJ utg+1and raise. Blinds were 500/800/1600. So I post 4800 & get 2 callers.

Flop: 9,8,10 OS. The nuts!

I'm acting first throughout the hand.
I check(1). Villian 1 & 2 check.

Turn was a blank.

I check(2). Villian 1 & 2 check.

River was GOLD! An ACE!

I look a little uncomfortable and check(3).

Villian 1 bets 8000. Villian 2 looses his mind and shoves like 70k with AJ. I call his bet with hesitation & villian 1 thinks for a minute and calls off the rest of his chips with AQ. Both drawing dead to me with my Q high straight.

I played the nuts to perfection like johnny chan on the. final table with seidel.

I could hear Mike sexton describing it to vince van patten in my head... hahaha

Little info. It had 857 players. Mostly good players. I finished in 34th place. My reads were pretty darn good. Surprisingly.

200/800/1600 were the blinds. Not 500to ante...

I have say I thought about villian 1 & I don't understand his call with how the hand played out. If it's me in his seat and see dude that's UTG call villian 2's all in for a large amount I'm going to stop and think about how the hand played out and most likely fold knowing I'm most likely beat with 1 pair.
