Nitsche Flying High
Dominik Nitsche has just seen his stack swell to 41,000 after he came off the best from a clash with Ramez Haddad.
Necip Ferengizbilge opened the round of betting with a raise to 550 from middle position. Nitsche was in the hijack and he decided he liked his hand and he made the call. Nikos Panapoulos, in the cutoff, called. As did Haddad from the big blind seat.
The first three community cards to hit the felt were the 
anf Ferengizbilge checked. Nitsche rarely needs an excuse to be and he tested the waters with a bet of 1,200 chips. Panapoulos folded, Haddad called and after much deliberation Ferengizbilge's hand found its way back to the dealer meaning it was heads-up to the 
turn.
Nitsche reached for chips and bet 4,300 and Haddad quickly called. The river was the 
and Nitsche bet a 10,000 chip, instructing the dealer the bet was 8,800.
"Why so much?" quizzed Haddad but Nitsche did not answer.
Haddad threw in the required chips but they will not be added to his stack just yet as his 
could not beat the 
of his German opponent and Nitsche climbs towards the top of the chip counts.
