Our thanks to JP Kelly for telling us how Dominik Nitsche busted, the two were sat side by side so Kelly had a front row seat. "He raised with ace-king and seat five (Christophe Dartagnan) called. The flop was K-J-7, Dominik bet, Dartagnan raised and Dominik went with it. Nitsche had A-K and Dartagnan had jacks," he said. "Dominik only had about 25 big blinds to start the hand," he added.
