Bluffing at the Wrong Time: Dominik Nitsche

Sometimes you make a nice move but the timing is just not quite right and here is Dominik Nitsche demonstrating that perfectly.

Christopher Creus raises to 2,200 in the cutoff and Dominik Nitsche defends his spot in the big blind. The flop is [Qs] [9h] [8c] and both players check. On the turn we see the [Ah] and Nitsche leads for 2,400 and after a few moments pause Creus calls. The river is the [4d] and Nitsche again bets, this time for 6,000, and after a few minutes thought Creus calls. Nitsche turns over [Kh] [Js] for the bluff and Creus turns over the impressive looking [As] [Ks] for the winning hand.

Creus ~ 63,000
Nitsche ~ 32,200
