Nowak Gets "Sticky"
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Wayne Nowak opened to 3,200 from the hijack and the recent $25K High Roller 6-Handed bracelet winner Alexandre Vuilleumier called from the cutoff. The big blind then squeezed to 15,000 and only Nowak called.
Nowak called bets of 9,000 and 15,000 on the flop and turn for the final board to read 4?3?2?10?10?. The river was checked.
The big blind turned over A?K? for ace-high while Nowak had the winner with a pair of fours as he held the A?4?.
"Very sticky Wayne," said the big blind. "Back to square one," he added.
