Nielsen Calls Sasaki's Bluff
Level 16
: Blinds 0/0, 6,000 ante
Nobuaki Sasaki opened to 50,000 from the button and found one call from Martin Nielsen. The two went to a flop of 9?9?10? and Nielsen then led for 45,000 and Sasaki called to see the 8? turn.
Both players decided to slow down and they went check-check to the river 10?.
This time Nielsen checked and Sasaki bet 105,000 and Nielsen went into the tank. After around 30 seconds, Nielsen made the call and Sasaki flipped over K?Q? to play the board with king-high but then Nielsen rolled over Q?Q? for a bigger two pair to take down the pot.
