Nichoel Jurgens Gets The Flop She Wanted
May 26, '13
A woman raised to 1,100 in middle position and was called by Peter Levine in the cutoff, Nichoel Jurgens on the button and both the small and big blind.
“I’m thinking of a flop,” said Jurgens.
The flop came down K
8
6
and the blinds checked to the original raiser, who bet 3,500. Jurgens was the only caller and the two ladies saw the K
hit the turn, pairing the board.
The original raiser then bet 4,000 and Jurgens took some time before raising to 9,000. Her opponent reluctantly called and the river was the 4.
After being checked to, Jurgens fired in 14,000, which seemed like a hair too much for her opponent, who eventually folded. Jurgens now has 67,000 in chips.
