Boellis Cracks Nikitin's Set
Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
With two players seeing a board of 5♣8♣3♦ and roughly 12,000 already in the middle, Guiliano Boellis checked from the big blind and Anatoly Nikitin bet 4,000 from under the gun. Boellis made the call.
Both players checked the A♣ turn leading to the 4♦ river. Boellis checked and called a 20,000 bet from Nikitin.
Nikitin tabled 5♦5♠ for a set of fives but Boellis showed down A♦2♣ for the wheel straight to take down a nice pot.
