Nadal Hangs Tough Against Berthelot
Level 34
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Action folded around to the blinds, where Santiago Nadal raised to 850,000 from the small blind and Sylvain Berthelot called from the big blind.
Nadal check-called a 625,000 bet from Berthelot on the K?A?10? flop and checked again after the J? brought a four-liner on board. Berthelot sized up for a bet of 1,150,000 and Nadal again called.
The A? completed the board and Nadal checked a final time. Berthelot rapped the table after thinking a while and Nadal turned over A?9? for trip aces. Berthelot sent his hand into the muck and Nadal dragged the pot.
