Nitsche Calls It Off

Frank Visser

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ilia Pavlov raised to 18,000 from the cutoff and the action eventually folded to Dominik Nitsche, who made the call from the big blind. The flop came down 4?K?4? and Nitsche check-called a 15,000 continuation-bet from Pavlov.

The 8? turn then saw Nitsche check again before Pavlov made a bet of 60,000. Nitsche confirmed the amount with the dealer and made the call. The 9? river completed the board and Nitsche checked for the third time. Pavlov slid some stacks of chips forward, totaling 145,000.

Nitsche mulled it over for a while before making the call. Pavlov showed A?4? for flopped trips and Nitsche added his cards to the muck pile, leaving him with roughly 30 big blinds.
