Niste Cracks Michaud's Cowboys
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Clement Michaud raised to 5,000 from the button before Mihai Niste three-bet to 17,000 out of the small blind. Michaud put in the call to see a flop.
Niste decided to check when the dealer fanned out the 10♦J♠9♦ flop. Michaud bet 12,000, which Niste called.
The 7♠ turn got checked through for the 5♦ to drop on the river. Niste checked again with roughly 44,500 remaining in his stack. Michaud thought about it for a few moments before he put Niste all in. Niste snap-called.
Michaud flipped up K♦K♣ for an overpair to the board, but was second best to the Q♦8♦ of Niste for a flopped straight that improved to a flush on the river. Nitse pulled in the pot and Michaud was left with crumbs.
Michaud was eliminated a few hands later.
