Bronshtein Plays Nice, Profits

Yuval Bronshtein limped in from under the gun, and when it folded all of the way back to Gwennael Grandmougin in the small blind he called. Jordi Martinezalonso then checked from the big blind. "I'm such a nice guy," said Bronshtein, and the three saw a cheap flop come {3-Spades}{K-Clubs}{5-Clubs}.

It checked to Bronshtein who bet 77,000, and only Grandmougin called. The turn was the {9-Spades}, and both players checked.

The river brought the {10-Diamonds}. This time Grandmougin bet 105,000, and after a pause Bronshtein raised to 335,000. Grandmougin tanked for some time, riffling his chips quickly as he thought. "Call," he finally said, and Bronshtein turned over {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for the nut straight.

"Nice day to run good," came the comment from across the table, and Bronshtein nodded while stacking the chips.
