Niciforo Eliminates Preston

Tim Baker

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Amin Hudda limped from under the gun before Preston Roberts raised to 2,600 from middle position. Mario Niciforo called from the big blind, and Hudda also came along.

After two checks on the J♦5♣2♠ flop, Roberts bet 7,000, and only Niciforo called to see a turn.

Niciforo check-called a second barrel of 14,000 from Roberts on the 6♥ turn.

A final check came from Niciforo on the 6♦ river, and Roberts jammed for 44,000. Niciforo went into the tank and, after thinking for around 90 seconds, slammed in the call.

Roberts confidently tabled K♦K♥ for an overpair, but to his surprise, and that of the rest of the table, he was behind Niciforo's 5♦5♠ for a full house.
