McNicholas Makes a Move

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Christoph Shum checked the 6610 flop in middle position, and made the call when Michael McNicholas bet 11,000 from the cutoff.

Another check from Shum on the A turn was met with a bet of 35,000 from McNicholas. Shum called again, and the 4 river completed the board.

One last check from Shum led to McNicholas announcing all in. That ended the hand, as Shum folded and McNicholas collected the pot.
