Nitsche Binks A Double-Up
Level 7
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Dominik Nitsche was down to around 20 big blinds when he opened to 1,200. Johan Guilbert then three-bet to 3,200 and Nitsche made the call.
On the K♣10♣K♥ flop, Guilbert bet 1,500 before Nitsche check-raised all in for 7,500. Guilbert readily called and the pair showed their hands.
Dominik Nitsche: Q♥J♥
Johan Guilbert: A♥K♠
Guilbert flopped trips but Nitsche was drawing very live with his open-ender and backdoor flush draw. Nitsche hit his straight on the 9♣ turn and the Q♦ river gave him a bonus pair to go along with it.
Nitsche doubled up while Guilbert's camera crew documented his disappointment.
