Chips Fly in Blind Battle
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Salih El-Emran and Niranjan Nukul were heads up in the blinds, with 2,500 chips already in the middle. El-Emran then check-called a 1,700 bet from Nukul on the 6?9?J? flop before doing the same for the 2,200 bet on the 7? turn.
The 5? river saw El-Emran shift gears as he led out for 6,000 chips. After some table talk, Nukul decided to make the call. El-Emran showed 10?9? for a pair of nines, but Nukul had made the right call with A?J? for top pair, and won a big pot early on.
