Nikitin and Gheba Clash Again

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Anatoly Nikitin
Anatoly Nikitin

Anatoly Nikitin and Daniyal Gheba were at it again as both players put in 250,000 preflop to bloat the pot.

Gheba checked on the 3♥6♣J♠ flop before Nikitin bet 200,000. Gheba called.

The 3♠ turn led to a check by Gheba and a bet of 300,000 from Nikitin.

Gheba was not ready to relinquish his hand and made the call to bring the Q♥ river.

Nikitin staged a large bet of 1,210,000 after it was checked to him on the river. Gheba gave it some thought before he folded as Nikitin got one back off of Gheba.
