Never Go Broke in a Limped Pot
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Omar Nimer limped from early position, which saw Eelis Parssinen, Tianhang Zhang, Shaun Deeb, and Lazar Bartha all limp behind. Derek Sein-Lwin checked his option.
The K♦J♦2♥ flop checked through to the 5♦ turn which saw Bartha lead for 1,100 from the small blind. Sein-Lwin folded, Nimer called, and Parssinen folded before Zhang raised to 5,000. Deeb and Bartha folded, but Nimer called again.
On the 6♠ river, Nimer checked to Zhang who bet enough to put Nimer at risk, and he shrugged as he called off his final 3,600.
Omar Nimer: 5♠5♥
Tianhang Zhang: A♦4♥
Nimer turned a set while Zhang was bluffing with the naked ace, but Nimer made the right call to double his stack.
