Ketzer Rivers a Straight, Niste Pays Off
Level 1
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Felipe Ketzer has gotten off to a great start and is also nearing a stack of 150,000.
Mihai Niste opened from under the gun to 1,000 and Felipe Ketzer three-bet the button to 3,500. Niste called.
They saw a flop of A?J?Q? where Niste check-called a bet of 2,000 from Ketzer to the A? turn, which checked through.
An 8? dropped on the river and Niste led out for 2,500. Ketzer then raised to 10,800, and Niste quickly called.
Ketzer tabled a straight with 10?9?, and Niste mucked his hand.
