Nitsche Avoids a Chop
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Boris Kolev raised to 8,000 from early position and received a call from Martin Diaz in the hijack. The action was then on Dominik Nitsche on the button, who squeezed in a jam for 126,000. Kolev made the call with the covering stack and Diaz grimaced before waving a final goodbye to his cards.
Dominik Nitsche: A?Q?
Boris Kolev: A?Q?
It was looking like the two would chop, but the 8?9?6? brought a flush draw for Nitsche. The 8? turn remained safe for Kolev, but the 7? river saw Nitsche hit his flush, resulting in a rare double-up against the same hand.
