Nitsche Takes From Thompson
Level 5
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Taylor Black raised to 5,500 in the hijack and Gavin three-bet to 13,500 in the cutoff for Black to call. On the K♠J♦7♣ flop, Black check-folded when facing a bet of 9,000.
One hand later, Gary Thompson opened to 5,500 first to act and was called by Dominik Nitsche as well as James Mendoza in the blinds. The 4♥4♦2♣ flop was checked to Thompson, who bet 6,000. Only Nitsche called and the 5♣ turn went check, check. After the 6♦ river, Nitsche bet 8,000 and Thompson folded.
