Nekrasov Gets Thin River Value From Tsai
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Evgenii Nekrasov three-bet preflop for Ting-Yi Tsai to call in the last hand of the previous level as they headed a few minutes into the break. Tsai check-called a small bet on the 9♣4♥2♠ flop and did so again for 80,000 on the K♠ turn.
After the A♣ river, Tsai checked again and Nekrasov sized down with a bet of just 60,000. Tsai used a time bank extension and said "you could have king-queen" before he sigh-called.
Nekrasov tabled the A♥5♠ and won the pot.
The same table also features Hal Rotholz, who came out on top of three coin flips so far.
