Zhang Gets Nitsche Off a Chop
Level 12
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Dominik Nitsche opened to 24,000 from under the gun with K♦J♣ and was called by Ivan Zhang in the big blind holding K♠J♦.
Zhang check-called a 20,000 bet from Nitsche on the 10♠9♦3♠ flop and then Zhang led out for 85,000 on the 2♣ turn. Nitsche called.
The 4♦ filled the river and Zhang tanked a while before putting 225,000 into the middle. Nitsche quickly laid down what would have been a chop and Zhang collected the pot.
