TLPT AAPOKER (SHR) FINAL ($25,000)

With a min-raise and a flat in front, small blind Ivan Zhang squeezes 64,000 and takes both opponents to the flop J♥ J♠ 5♣ where Zhang fires a 130,000 c-bet. Under the gun Nitsche is the only taker, but folds after Zhang jammed the T♠ turn.

Dominik Nitsche is back with an 18,000 raise from +1, cutoff Charles Chao increases to 40,000 and calls after Nitsche four-bet to 100,000. Nitsche continues for 85,000 on the 4♠ 8♥ Q♦ flop which is enough to make Chao fold.

Hijack Dominik Nitsche opens 13,000 and finds to takers to share the 5♦ Q♠ 9♣ flop with which gets checked to the 9♠ turn. Big blind Quan Zhou leads 28,000, Nitsche calls and button Charles Chao - who just entered the field - pumps it to 75,000 with the aid of a time bank. Zhou folds and Nitsche fills up again for the board to complete 6♠ . Both players check and Chao throws it in the muck after watching Nitsche table A♦ Q♦ top pair.
