Nikzad Sees Roughest River

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action was picked up on the turn of a pot with 17,000 in the middle, and a board that read 55QA

Small blind Hooman Nikzad checked over to cutoff player Salih Gabrysch, who bet out for 7,000. Nikzad check-raised to 15,000, and Gabrysch made the call.

The river was the A and Nikzad slowed down with a check. Gabrysch then bet out for 21,000, and Nikzad put on quite the pained face. Eventually, he folded, showing the table his full house with QQ had been seriously downgraded. Gabrysch said that he had ace-queen.
