“tie53″ Takes Down $76K NL Hold’em Win Over “Spiked”

Over on Full Tilt Poker table Pimento, the players “tie53″ and “Spiked” were involved in quite an entertaining heads-up $200/$400 NL Hold’em matchup. The one hand in particular that was rather amusing was when they chopped a $94K+ pot that saw “tie53″ move in on the turn with Q-high and was actually ahead after “Spiked” called with his 8-high flush draw. The King of Diamonds on the river had both players playing the board. After nearly 100 minutes of heads-up action, “tie53″ actually managed to pull out a $76K+ win over his assuredly frustrated opponent.
