Nishijima's in a Tough Spot

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Scott Wellenbach raised to 7,500 from the cutoff and Thiago Nishijima three-bet from the button to 20,000 after which Siarhei Melianiuk flat-called from the small blind. Wellenbach called as well, creating three-way action on the flop.

The flop came down {10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{J-Hearts} and Melianiuk lead out for 33,000 right away, getting Wellenbach to quickly fold.

Nishijima tanked for well over three minutes before folding, leaving himself with 131,000 chips.
