Turning Intense Pressure Into Profit

In one of the defining hands of his career, Nik faced a massive decision during the Hustler Million Dollar Game. Holding pocket sixes against an overpair, Nik stayed cool as the board developed. When the turn brought him a set, he avoided the temptation to overplay, opting instead for a controlled call that kept his opponent invested. On the river, Nik applied maximum pressure with a large raise, recognizing that his opponent’s bet sizing signaled uncertainty.
