Belcher Puts Nagata to the Test
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Ryota Nagata opened to 1,000 in middle position, with Connor Belcher next to act and sliding out a three-bet to 2,500. Action folded back to Nagata, who made the call.
Nagata checked the 6♣J♣Q♥ flop, and Belcher continued for 3,000. Nagata called and checked again after seeing the K♦ turn.
Another bet from Belcher followed, this time for 4,500. After taking some time, Nagata called to the 4♣ river.
Nagata led out for 9,500, and Belcher replied by announcing all in. Nataga went into the tank, asking the dealer to spread the pot before taking several minutes to reach a decision. Nagata opted to lay it down, and Belcher collected the pot.
