Nitsche Never Folds

Level 9 : 400/800, 800 ante

Dominik Nitsche made it 1,800 in early position and a round of folded followed until the player in the big blind defended, coming heads-up to the {6-Spades}{K-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop.

Nitsche fired 2,000 and his opponent was interested in peeling the turn. Then he led out 6,100 when the {3-Hearts} appeared but Nitsche threw in calling chips.

The dealer turned over the {3-Diamonds} river and Nitsche faced a bet of 11,500. He studied the board for a minute, contemplating whether to call or fold. He eventually selected the first option and got rewarded as his opponent showed {9-Spades}{7-Spades} for a busted flush draw. Nitsche turned over {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and scooped the pot thanks to his successful bluff catch.

"You never fold!" his opponent laughed.
