Nishant Sharma’s Sick River Call Stuns Rival

Level 4, Blinds: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Nam Hai Hoang lost most of his chips to France’s Jerome Finck in an earlier pot. Hoang’s next move was to shove. He shoved his chips in a raised pot with Indian pro Nishant Sharma. The Gamezy Poker pro opened from the highjack spot; Hiroki Takezaki of Japan made the call. Hoang 3-bet shoved when the action circled to him. Sharma then went for the 4-bet route and raised to 35,000 which was called by Takezaki.

There was a side pot brewing and things got heated. Dealer fanned out T♦ 5♣ 3♦ and Takezaki checked his option. Sharma threw 40,000 chips and found a caller. The turn revealed 9♥ and both players checked their options. 5♠ came on the river and Sharma checked. Takezaki threw 75,000 in the pot and a call came from Sharma. Hoang tabled A♣ Jc; while Sharma showed A♠ Kd and Takezaki turned over K♣ Q♣. 

• Hoang: A♣ Jc
• Takezaki: K♣ Q♣ 
• Sharma: A♠ Kd
• Board: T♦ 5♣ 3♦ 9♥ 5♠
