Nielsen Calls Sasaki's Bluff
Level 16
: Blinds 0/0, 6,000 ante
Nobuaki Sasaki opened to 50,000 from the button and found one call from Martin Nielsen. The two went to a flop of 9♥9♣10♣ and Nielsen then led for 45,000 and Sasaki called to see the 8♣ turn.
Both players decided to slow down and they went check-check to the river 10♦.
This time Nielsen checked and Sasaki bet 105,000 and Nielsen went into the tank. After around 30 seconds, Nielsen made the call and Sasaki flipped over K♣Q♦ to play the board with king-high but then Nielsen rolled over Q♥Q♠ for a bigger two pair to take down the pot.
