Shepelenko Shoves On Nitsche

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

World Series of Poker bracelet winner Dominik Nitsche opened to 2,500 from late position and when the action folded around to Oleg Shepelenko in the big blind he wasted no time in three-betting all-in for 23,000.

Nitsche was not prepared to make the call and his cards found their way to the muck.

It could be quite a long day for Nitsche as he is seated on the same table as his fellow German Marvin Rettenmaier. It will be interesting to see if they avoid each other or get involved in any pots together.
