Nichols Applies Maximum Pressure
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Action was picked up on the flop with the board reading 4?J?10?. A player on the button had bet 11,500 and Steven Nichols had raised it to 37,000 in position, putting his opponent deep into the tank.
After approximately five full minutes the button made the call, leading to the Q? turn. Nichols bet again for 50,000, putting the button, who had about 75,000 behind, on a difficult decision.
After another long deliberation, the button folded and Nichols was awarded a chunky pot.
