Nilsson Good at Showdown
Level 6
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Christian Nilsson opened to 2,000 from middle position, and Malcolm Buttigieg defended the big blind.
On the 9♣6♣5♥ flop, Buttigieg check-called a bet of 1,500 from Nilsson.
Buttigieg led out with a bet of 2,500 on the 10♥ turn, which failed to shake off Nilsson.
The 4♥ hit on the river, and Buttigieg led out once more with a bet of 5,000. Nilsson didn't appear to like it but made the call, and his J♣10♣ was good versus Buttigieg's A♦9♠.
