Nikolaev Flops the Nuts
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
With two players seeing a flop of Q?3?5? and roughly 3,500 in the middle, Mikhail Nikolaev checked from the small blind and Maria Konnikova bet 1,200 from the hijack. Nikolaev made the call.
Nikolaev check-called another bet from Konnikova on the Q? turn, this time for 5,500.
On the 4? river, Nikolaev checked once more and Konnikova bet 15,000. Nikolaev shoved for 18,600 and Konnikova made the call.
Konnikova turned over Q?8? for trip queens but Nikolaev showed down A?K? for the nut flush to take the pot.
