Nicault Won't Go Down Without a Fight
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Benjamin Nicault shoved from the cutoff for 64,000 and Bojan Berberovic took him for a spin out of the big blind.
Benjamin Nicault: Q♦J♣
Bojan Berberovic: 8♠2♦
Nicault was ahead, although Berberovic was running hot and had two live cards working for him.
The flop of 8♥3♣5♣ put Berberovic in the lead with a pair of eights. A 7♠ on the turn meant Nicault needed to pair one of his cards to stay alive. The river came the Q♣ to give Nicault exactly what he needed in a pair of queens, and he doubled up.
