Batting .500 With Back to Back Aces
Andre Nabors just scored a much-needed double-up holding a pair of aces, and his tablemates were amazed that he had gotten the mighty hand back to back. Unfortunately for Nabors, that first hand didn't go as well, necessitating the subsequent double-up.
As told by John Purdy, who shortened Nabor's stack in that first hand, he flopped a flush draw in the big blind with Q?5? and got there on the turn to crack Nabors' A?A?, leaving him short for the following hand.
With about 12,000 in the middle already, Nabors was in the cutoff when he moved all in for his last 6,000 after his opponent in middle position checked on a 9?6?3? board.
The call was made and Nabors showed the other two aces in the deck, A?A?, while his opponent showed 7?7?.
Nabors aces held this time and he's earned back his chips from the previous hand and jumped back over a starting stack.
