Nitsche Calls It Off
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Ilia Pavlov raised to 18,000 from the cutoff and the action eventually folded to Dominik Nitsche, who made the call from the big blind. The flop came down 4♣K♦4♠ and Nitsche check-called a 15,000 continuation-bet from Pavlov.
The 8♦ turn then saw Nitsche check again before Pavlov made a bet of 60,000. Nitsche confirmed the amount with the dealer and made the call. The 9♦ river completed the board and Nitsche checked for the third time. Pavlov slid some stacks of chips forward, totaling 145,000.
Nitsche mulled it over for a while before making the call. Pavlov showed A♠4♦ for flopped trips and Nitsche added his cards to the muck pile, leaving him with roughly 30 big blinds.
