Nitsche's Hero Call Doesn't Pay Off
Level 17
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Over at the feature table, the last hand of Level 16 went a good five minutes into the break. That's because Dominik Nitsche was contemplating what to do on the river with a board reading 
.
His opponent, Stephen Chidwick, had moved all in, and after some intense thought, Nitsche called. Chidwick rolled over the 
for a set, and it was good as Nitsche went to muck. However, it was an all-in hand so the dealer tabled his hand — 
. Nitsche had a pair of tens, but it wasn't good enough.
