Nieminen Calls Correctly for a Double
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
With around 35,000 in the middle to the K?J?2?3?5? river, Antti Nieminen checked in the big blind. Sami Natri then pushed all-in from the cutoff and Nieminen reluctantly called all-in.
Natri tabled Q?10? for a missed straight draw and Nieminen doubled for 20,600 with the K?8? for top pair. That reduced the chances of Natri to be the Day 1a chip leader, as he fell way behind several other contenders.
