Tamasian Takes Down 30 Big Blind Pot
Level 1
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
On the flop and turn, the pot had already swelled to about 12,000 when Nikolai Nasenkov, seated in the small blind, initiated the action with a 7,000 bet. Garik Tamasian responded with a raise to 17,000 chips, prompting a fold from another player, and Nasenkov opted to call.
As the river card, the 8♣, was revealed, Nasenkov checked, and Tamasian, feeling uncertain about his hand, chose to check back.
Nasenkov then revealed his hand, Q♥6♥, showing a pair of sixes along with a flush draw. However, Tamasian had him beat with a pair of tens, specifically K♥10♠, and scooped the roughly 46,000 pot.
