Naicker Doesn't Believe Blanc
Level 30
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Alexandre Blanc made it 300,000 to go with K♥K♣ and found a single caller in Naven Naicker out of the small blind holding the A♣9♣. The gutshot came with the 10♦7♠6♣ flop but both checked. Naicker also checked the 4♠ turn and Blanc bet 575,000 to pick up a call.
The Q♣ on the river failed to improve Naicker and he checked once more. Blanc bet 1,200,000, sending Naicker into a brief tank. He checked his remaining stack and eventually paid it off with his ace-high to lose a big portion of his stack.
