Thus Spake the River

[user46392]

Dominik Nitsche is in some serious trouble.

Already down more than half his stack at the start of the hand, Nitsche saw a {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{J-Diamonds}

flop with two other players. The first player checked and the second bet 1,200, which Nitsche called from the button. The first player folded, and they went heads up to the turn.

The turn was the {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

and Nitsche's opponent bet out another 1,200; Nitsche called that too. They saw a {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

river and this time Mr. Opponent bet out 2,000. Nitsche went to call, then paused, checked his hole cards again, and then tossed in the call - only to laugh and muck when Mr. Opponent turned over {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

.

Nitsche is down to just 5,300 now.
