Nicolas "PKaiser" Fierro Let's it Go

Level 3 : 75/150, 15 ante

Preflop Mexico's "SteveyBG" made it 450 to go, and only Nicolas "PKaiser" Fierro in the cutoff and "myhometown" in the big blind paid the price. The Flop came down {10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, and SteveyBG followed up with a bet of 645. Only Fierro called.

The Turn {8-Hearts} prompted yet another bet from SteveyBG, this time a more healthy 1,720 chips. PKaiser called once again.

The {6-Clubs} completed the board, and with 6,290 in the middle, SteveyBG opted for a third bullet of 3,885. That was enough to take down the pot, and leave Fierro with 12,304 chips.
