Nichols Blasts His Way Up the Counts
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Steven Nichols was facing a bet of 12,000 from an opponent under the gun on a flop of J♦9♠10♠ and called in middle position.
The turn came the 8♦ and action checked to Nichols, who now opened the betting for 16,500. His opponent called to the 2♥ river, where Nichols fired out another 26,000.
The under-the-gun player slid his cards into the muck as Nichols took the pot and is now approaching 500,000.
