Another for Nitsche

[user66118]

In a battle of the blinds, an unknown player in the small opened for a raise to 850, and Dominik Nitsche three-bet to 1,800 in the big. The initial raiser four-bet shoved for about 8,000 total, and Nitsche called to put him at risk. Cards up, gents:

Small blind: {A-Hearts} {10-Spades}
Nitsche: {J-Hearts} {J-Spades}

There was no funny stuff on board, and Nitsche's pocket pair held as it ran {4-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} . With a baby fist pump and a, "Good game, man," Nitsche tallies the knockout to chip his way up further. He's at about 34,500 now, and in contention for the Day 1b chip lead again.
