Shashkov Check Raise Forces Nitsche To Fold

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Dominik Nitsche saw the action fold to him in the hijack and after a quick peek at his holecards made it 650 to play. His only customer was Denis Shashkov in the small blind.

The pair saw the dealer fan out the {3-Spades}{q-Clubs}{a-Hearts} flop, a flop that Shashkov checked. Nitsche took a stab at the pot with a continuation bet of 800 but his cards hit the muck as quick as Shashkov check-raised to 2,500.

Shashkov then showed {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}, which knowing Nitsche was definitely the best hand!
