Nikitin and Gates Tangle in the Blinds

Stewart Morrison
Stewart Morrison
Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

When the action folded to Anatoly Nikitin in the small blind, he raised to 120,000, which Brian Gates called in the big blind.

The action checked through on the A♠4♥4♦ flop, and the dealer added the 2♥ to the board.

Nikitin put a bet of 80,000 into the middle, which Gates called. However, when Nikitin put another 100,000 into the pot on the K♠ river, Gates returned his cards to the dealer.
