Level 10
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Table 2, three players jumped into a pot: Hassan Nashar under the gun, who had just sat down, David Yan in the small blind, and Erik Seidel in the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of Q♥4♣K♣, where Nashar bet 12,000. Yan folded at this point, but Seidel check-called. He check-called again after Nashar fired a second barrel of 17,000 on the turn 7♠. However, when he checked a third time on the river K♠, Nashar checked back.
Without much conviction, Seidel revealed J♣10♦ for a missed straight draw. Nashar then showed 4♠2♠ for a pair and claimed the pot.
