A Small Pair Is Enough For Nashar
Level 10
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Table 2, three players jumped into a pot: Hassan Nashar under the gun, who had just sat down, David Yan in the small blind, and Erik Seidel in the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of Q?4?K?, where Nashar bet 12,000. Yan folded at this point, but Seidel check-called. He check-called again after Nashar fired a second barrel of 17,000 on the turn 7?. However, when he checked a third time on the river K?, Nashar checked back.
Without much conviction, Seidel revealed J?10? for a missed straight draw. Nashar then showed 4?2? for a pair and claimed the pot.
