David Nadeau

David Nadeau opened to 75,000 from the cutoff and Paul Strandquist ripped it in from the small blind for 190,000 total. The big blind folded and Nadeau thought for a minute before calling.

Nadeau: AsJc
Strandquist: AcTh

Strandquist was in a lot of trouble against Nadeau’s bigger ace. The 5d4c3h gave Strandquist come wheel chop outs and it came on the 2h turn. The river was the inconsequential 4d and the two of them chopped it up.

Paul Stradquist – 210,000 (11 bb)
David Nadeau – 575,000 (29 bb)
