Santerne Puts Nikitins to the Test
Level 6
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Thomas Santerne raised to 4,500 from under the gun, receiving calls from Enrico Camosci and Mihails Nikitins, in the respective blinds.
The 8?10?10? flop saw Camosci check. Nikitins played out of flow with a lead of 10,500. Santerne responded with a raise to 22,000 and Camosci folded. Nikitins called.
The 7? turn checked through to the 2? river. Nikitins checked again and Santerne moved all in for 65,000. Nikitins tanked for some time before making a reluctant call.
Mihails Nikitins: Q?8? 
Thomas Santerne: Q?8?
Santerne almost knocked Nikitins off a chop, but the pot was split.
