Sean Nolan Bluffs Brandon Novena Out of a Huge Pot -- Or Not

Sep 22, 2010

After a flop of [KsKc7c], Brandon Novena bets 240,000 from the small blind, and Sean Nolan thinks for a bit before he calls from the cutoff. The turn card is the [3h], Novena bets 500,000, and Nolan thinks for a bit before he moves all in. 

Novena asks for an exact count, and it’s an additional 752,000 for Novena to call. (The total bet is 1,252,000.) Novena tanks, and Nolan eventually calls for a clock. After about 20 seconds, Novena folds. 

Nolan shows one card — the [5h] — as he takes the pot. Across the table, Dwyte Pilgrim says, "Obviously king-five of hearts." Nolan flashes a look, and Pilgrim says, "Just kidding, man."
