The Good Ol' Seven-Bet
![[user228332]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
With a starting stack of one million and blinds at a mere 3,000/6,000, there's nothing but room to for exciting poker hands and interesting lines of play. I mean, how often do you actually get to see a casual six-bet/fold preflop?
That just happened on one of the outer tables, as Jonathan Bowers and Christian Nilles got into quite the raising war. Bowers raided it op from the button, Nilles made it 40,000 to go out of the small blind, Jonathan Concepcion surrendered his big blind before Bowers came back over the top for 125,000.
Nilles wasn't going anywhere and put in another raise - this time to 215,000 - only to face yet another reraise to a total of 380,000, that sent the German player into the tank for quite some time.
"Sorry guys", he told the table after a few minutes of deliberation, and took another minute or so before announcing all-in for 1,3 million chips effectively.
Jonathan Bowers made a grimace of defeat before letting his hand go, and a clearly relieved Nilles dragged in the pot.
"I didn't have aces", Bowers said afterward.
"I had at least one trey", Bowers replied with a wry smile.
