Piderit Makes "Very Nitty Check-Back"
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Barry Schultz raised to 13,000 in middle position before immediately getting three-bet to 28,000 by Caleb Piderit next to act. The table folded behind and Schultz made the call.
On the Q♥J♠7♦ flop, Schultz check-called a bet of 24,000. When the 8♦ hit the turn, Schultz checked again and Piderit fired out a bet of 43,000. Schultz wasted no time making the call.
The 3♠ hit the river and Schultz instantly checked. Piderit gave it a few seconds before knuckling the table as he said, "I think I win, very nitty check-back."
Schultz tabled A♥Q♠ for top pair top kicker, but was shown the bad news as Piderit flopped middle set, tabling the J♣J♦.
