Niekerk Takes It on the River
Level 17
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
There was a raise to 22,000 from under the gun, a player in middle position called, as did Carolyn Niekerk from the big blind.
Niekerk led for 22,000 on the 
flop and only the original raiser called.
The turn brought the 
and Niekerk checked this time.
The early position player bet 36,000, Niekerk popped it up to 75,000 and the raise was called.
Niekerk led out for another 100,000 on the 
river and her opponent went into the tank. He scratched his head, looked at his cards and folded after about a minute as Niekerk padded her stack.
