Niste Cracks Michaud's Cowboys
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Clement Michaud raised to 5,000 from the button before Mihai Niste three-bet to 17,000 out of the small blind. Michaud put in the call to see a flop.
Niste decided to check when the dealer fanned out the 10?J?9? flop. Michaud bet 12,000, which Niste called.
The 7? turn got checked through for the 5? to drop on the river. Niste checked again with roughly 44,500 remaining in his stack. Michaud thought about it for a few moments before he put Niste all in. Niste snap-called.
Michaud flipped up K?K? for an overpair to the board, but was second best to the Q?8? of Niste for a flopped straight that improved to a flush on the river. Nitse pulled in the pot and Michaud was left with crumbs.
Michaud was eliminated a few hands later.
