Jose Lesta
Jose Lesta

David Nickel opened to 1,800 from middle position and Jose Lesta raised to 6,600 from the small blind. Nickel called, and the pair saw the 10AK flop.

Lesta bet 3,200 and Nickel called to get to the 8 turn. Both checked and the 7 completed the board. No more bets were made, and the cards were tabled. Nickel showed QQ which saw him take down the pot after Lesta table his pocket jacks JJ.
