Nikzad Sees Roughest River
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Action was picked up on the turn of a pot with 17,000 in the middle, and a board that read 5♥5♠Q♦A♥
Small blind Hooman Nikzad checked over to cutoff player Salih Gabrysch, who bet out for 7,000. Nikzad check-raised to 15,000, and Gabrysch made the call.
The river was the A♣ and Nikzad slowed down with a check. Gabrysch then bet out for 21,000, and Nikzad put on quite the pained face. Eventually, he folded, showing the table his full house with Q♣Q♠ had been seriously downgraded. Gabrysch said that he had ace-queen.
