Nanos Fails to Get Value

Gabrielle Barredo

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Dimitrios Nanos and Paul Otto were heads up in a pot of around 30,000. The flop came 9♦9♠Q♥.

Nanos in the big blind checked. It took Otto a few seconds to check after.

On the turn 2♥, Nanos took a few seconds to consider his options and decided to check again. Otto mulled over the situation and knuckled.

Finally, on the river 10♥, Nanos, looking directly at Otto, checked for a third time. Otto immediately checked after.

Nanos was visibly frustrated and was shaking his head when he threw his cards on the table to show J♥J♠, prompting Otto to muck his hand.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Kyna England opened to 2,000 in early position and Robert Fechser three-bet to 4,200 from a couple of seats over. The action folded back to England who four-bet to 11,000 which Fechser called.

The flop came A♥J♠2♦ and England led out with a bet of 6,000. Fechser called and the 10♣ landed on the turn. England fired out another bet of 16,000 and Fechser stuck around for the 6♦ on the river.

England counted out a third barrel of 25,000 and Fechser went into the tank for around three minutes. He eventually called and England tabled A♠K♦, the same for Fechser with A♦K♥, to split the pot.
