Nitsche Busts After Pay Jump

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Dominik Nitsche
Dominik Nitsche

David Djian opened to 35,000 in the cutoff before Dominik Nitsche three-bet to 240,000, leaving just 25,000 behind. Action folded back around to Djian, who called and started to reveal his hand thinking Nitsche was all in.

The hand continued to the A10J flop, where Nitsche checked the tournament clock on the bubble of a pay jump. "I don't know what to do," said Nitsche before betting 15,000. Djian made the call.

The dealer flipped over the 9 turn and Nitsche checked. Djian bet and Nitsche called his last 10,000 after confirming that the pay jump was acquired.

Dominik Nitsche: A8 All in
David Djian: 99

"I have some equity," said Nitsche as he waited for the river. The 4 sealed his exit from the tournament, seeing his chips get added to Djian's stack.

Action was picked up on the turn of 84J4 with Ole Schemion facing a bet of 160,000 from Claudio Di Giacomo. He took a moment before raising all in for around 250,000. Di Giacomo snap-called and the players tabled their hands.
