Hand #10: Short-Stack Dominik Nitsche Chops an All-In with Don Vu

May 29, 2019

In Hand #10 of hand-for-hand play on the Money Bubble, Dominik Nitsche is down to 24,000 under the gun, and he puts 20,000 in preflop against Don Vu on the button.

The flop comes Club 10Spade 10Spade 5, Nitsche checks, Vu bets enough to put Nitsche all in, and Nitsche calls with Spade ADiamond 8 for ace high. Vu turns over Heart AHeart 4, and Nitsche is actually ahead with his eight kicker.

But the turn card is the Diamond A, the river card is the Diamond K, and both players make the same hand — two pair, aces and tens, with a king kicker. It’s a chopped pot.

Nitsche says, “How bad do I run?”

Don Vu  –  265,000  (66 bb)
Dominik Nitsche  –  29,000  (7 bb)
