Nia Raises the River
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Evgeniy Tsyrenov opened to 9,000 from the cutoff before Brian Hastings raised to 25,000 on the button. Michael Nia made the call in the big blind, with Tsyrenov quickly getting out of the way.
Nia and Hastings both opted to check the 7♦A♠5♣ flop. Nia then led out for 18,000 on the 10♠ turn and Hastings called.
The J♥ river saw Nia check and Hastings fired 35,000. Nia then check-raised to 100,000 and Hastings did not take long to toss in a call.
Nia showed K♦Q♠ for a straight on the river, and Hastings could only smirk as he mucked.
