Nitsche Doubles His Short Stack

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Dominik Nitsche
Dominik Nitsche

A player opened to 8,000 from the hijack and "Likutu" called from the cutoff. Dominik "888Dominik" Nitsche three-bet jammed to 18,326. The opening player called before they folded after "Likutu" jammed for heaps.

Dominik "888Dominik" Nitsche: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
"Likutu": {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}

It wasn't looking good for Nitsche after the {7-Spades}{a-Spades}{7-Hearts} came on the flop. The {10-Hearts} didn't help Nitsche on the turn but the {a-Hearts} double-paired the board on the river and Nitsche's king-kicker won the hand.
