Nielsen Takes it on River
Level 21
: Blinds 0/0, 20,000 ante
On a heads-up flop of Q♥Q♣9♣, there was already around 275,000 in the pot when Nielsen put out a bet of 85,000.
It was then on Hong Wei Yu who raised it up to 325,000 and put the pressure back on Nielsen.
Nielsen made the call and the two went to the turn 9♥, which double-paired the board. Both players then decided to check and went straight to the river K♠.
Yu checked once more and Nielsen tanked for almost 30 seconds before he announced a bet of 300,000, to which Yu promptly folded to award him the sizeable pot.
