So Nier & Yet So Far

The flop read {4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} when we found the gentleman in the small blind checking to Nick Niergarth, who bet a chunky 50,000. The small blind tanked up for a while and then called.

Both players checked the {5-Hearts} turn and they saw a {k-Diamonds} river, on which the small blind - after a period of considerable tankage - bet out 90,000. Niergarth thought about it for only a few seconds before folding, and neither of these gentlemen look like they are going to be the bubble boy any time soon.
