Nistala Shoves River and Shows A Massive Bluff
PokerNews was called over to a table with Sreekanth Nistala and another play heads up on a the turn with close to 100,000 already in the middle.
The late position player had raised pre-flop with the button putting in a three-bet. Nistala then put in a four-bet from the small blind and the initial late position raiser tossed out a five-bet.
The button folded and Nistala made the call to see the 2?7?5? flop. Nistala checked and his opponent bet out 16,000. Nistala called and brought out the Q? on the turn.
Action checked through and the dealer put the 7? out on the river.
Nistala open-jammed for enough to put his late position opponent all in. The player in late position entered a very long tank, thinking for about three to four minutes.
Eventually, he uncapped his cards, checked them one last time and slid them into the muck, causing Nistala jump from his chair and slam the A?K? face up in the middle of the table.
His opponent revealed that he had folded KxKx as Nistala collected the pot and celebrated a successful massive bluf with about 15 minutes left if the day.
