Back-To-Back Loses For Nitsche
Dominik Nitsche has not had the best of starts since coming back from the last break; but the young German still has 150,000 chips at his disposal.
The first saw him raise Elias Abou Saleh's 7,600 bet to 17,500 on a flop but then quickly fold when Abou Saleh came over the top again and made it 36,600 to play.
Then the very next hand Nitsche opened to 4,000 from middle position and found callers in the shape of Tuan Le (small blind) and Alexey Popov (big blind). The flop came down and the action checked to Nitsche, who bet 6,500. Only Le called and it was heads-up to the turn. Le checked and Nitsche checked behind.
Fifth street was the and Le tapped the table and checked, Nitsche checked too and then mucked when Le showed for a turned straight.
