Nachtey Pushes Out Opponent on River
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Alex Nachtey raised 2,500 on the cutoff, but then faced a player’s three-bet of 9,000 on the button. After the blinds folded, Nachtey called.
The dealer fanned A♣8♦Q♣ on the flop, which Nachtey checked. His opponent bet 8,000 and Nachtey called to push the pot to close to 40,000.
The turn showed K♠ and both players checked, leading to the dealer to place 2♣ on the river. Whatever the player on the button was thinking of doing, Nachtey didn’t give an opportunity because he moved all in.
Nachtey’s opponent briefly looked at the board before mucking his hand.
