Pastore Gets Paid
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Before the flop, Anatoly Nikitin raised to 8,000. The action folded around to Jonathan Pastore in the small blind who raised all in for 51,700 and Nikitin asked for a count. After less than a minute Nikitin put in the call and the players flipped their cards over.
Jonathan Pastore: 10♥10♣
Anatoly Nikitin: 6♥6♠
"Sixes never lose" said Nikitin as the dealer tapped the table fanning out a 5♥Q♣2♣ flop, affecting neither player.
The turn came K♥ leaving Nitikin to hitting a six on the river to send Pastore packing.
A river card of 8♠ completed the board and fulfilled Pastore's double up as the players laughing seemingly in great spirits and chips traded places.
