'Nitty Check' Saves Schwartz Chips
Level 2
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Two players saw the 10♦4♠2♥ flop and Karolis Sereika checked from the big blind to Noah Schwartz in the cutoff who fired 8,000 into the pot of about 26,000. Sereika made the call.
The dealer rolled the 5♠ on the turn, and Sereika check-called another bet of 19,000.
When the 7♣ completed the board on the river, Sereika checked once again. Schwartz thought about it for a few seconds before announcing, "Nitty check."
Sereika turned his K♦10♣ face-up for top pair king kicker and Schwartz said, "Ah, you win, but that was a nitty check," while mucking his hand.
