Nikolai Mamut
Nikolai Mamut

Nikolai Mamut struck immediately on the first hand of heads-up action against Faraz Jaka.

Mamut opened to 30,000 from the button with 97, and Jaka defended his big blind with K2.

The dealer fanned K9J on the flop, giving Jaka top pair to Mamut’s bottom pair. Both players elected to check, though.

The 7 then appeared on the turn, which Jaka bet 30,000. Mamut, holding bottom two pair, came over the top with a 150,000 bet. Jaka took a moment before making the call, putting the pot at 360,000.

Jaka checked after the dealer placed 4 on the river, and then he faced Mamut’s pot-sized 360,000 bet, which forced Jaka out of the hand and gave Mamut the pot.
