Nitesh Rawtani Wins Two in a Row

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

In the first hand, the board read {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{K-Spades}, and John Richards checked in the small blind. Nitesh Rawtani bet 16,000 in the big blind, almost the size of the pot, and Richards called after thinking it over.

Rawtani showed {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds} for trip kings, good for the pot.

In the next hand, the player under the gun raised to 1,800, Rawtani called in the small blind, and the big blind called.

The flop came {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, and all three checked. On the {8-Clubs} turn, Rawtani bet 3,000, the big blind folded, and the next player called. The river was the {J-Clubs}, and Rawtani bet 5,000. His opponent called, and he showed {8-Spades}{6-Spades} for trip eights to win that one, too.
