Bubble Bravado from Nitteberg

Bubble Bravado from Nitteberg

On the bubble, a fairly chunky hand developed between Mari Nitteberg and Michael Kane. Caught from the turn, on a board of Kc 8d 6s 5h, Nitteberg bet 20,000 (with 51,000 behind). Kane made the call.

The river: Qh. Now she moved all in for that 51,000 and Michael Kane went deep into the tank, including querying, “Will you show if I fold?” (she answered in the affirmative). He took a minute or two to consider, before finally folding with an air of deep reluctance.

She showed Ah 4h for the bluff. He may have smelled a rat but couldn’t spring the trap.
