Nikitina Gives Up On The River
Level 5
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Natalya Nikitina was in middle position when she raised to 2,500. The button called, as well as the small blind.
On a Q♠K♦3♠ flop, Nikitina made a continuation bet of 5,000. The button folded, but not the small blind who wanted to see the turn J♠. But this card froze the action because both players checked.
The J♦ came on the river, and the small blind took the lead, betting 15,000. Nikitina checked her cards, but decided to send them to the muck.
