Niste Gets Tricky
Level 30
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Mihai Niste picked up Q?Q? in the small blind and limped in as Joao Sydenstricker checked Q?8?.
The 3?7?8? flop gave Sydenstricker top pair and both players checked through to the 2? turn. Niste then led out for 225,000 and Sydenstricker called.
The 2? fell on the river and Niste fired out 775,000 this time. Sydenstricker quickly called, then mucked at the sight of Niste's pocket queens.
