Nieminen Calls Correctly for a Double
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
With around 35,000 in the middle to the K♣J♥2♠3♦5♥ river, Antti Nieminen checked in the big blind. Sami Natri then pushed all-in from the cutoff and Nieminen reluctantly called all-in.
Natri tabled Q♣10♦ for a missed straight draw and Nieminen doubled for 20,600 with the K♥8♠ for top pair. That reduced the chances of Natri to be the Day 1a chip leader, as he fell way behind several other contenders.
