Cates Doubles Through Nitsche; Who Then Doubles Through Black
Daniel Cates opened to 12,000 on the button and Dominik Nitsche called in the big blind.
Both players checked on the 3♦Q♣5♠ flop and then Nitsche bet 11,000 on the 2♠ turn. Cates responded with a raise to 35,000 and Nitsche shoved for enough to put Cates all in for his last 140,000.
Cates quickly called and a showdown was held.
Daniel Cates: Q♦7♠
Dominik Nitsche: K♦6♥
Cates had way the best of it with his pair of queens and the J♠ river bricked out to award him the double up.
A couple hands later, Taylor Black opened to 14,000 first to act and Dominik Nitsche shoved for his last 83,000 from the small blind. Black called and the board was run.
Dominik Nitsche: 5♦5♣
Taylor Black: A♦8♦
It was a race, but the 5♥J♥7♥4♥10♣ runout left Nitsche best with a set for the double up.
