Online, Live ... It's All the Same
Dominik Nitsche has mostly been recognized for his online poker skills. Nitsche started out playing online in 2006 and amassed over $3 million in earnings doing so. In 2009, Nitsche took to the felt for the first time, winning an LAPT event for $381,000. Since then, Nitsche has gone on to win three WSOP bracelets and accumulated over $6.7 million in live tournament winnings.
We caught up with Nitsche in the middle of a hand with the board reading 
. There was around 130,000 in the pot and the action had been checked to Nitsche who bet 150,000. His opponent slid forward a stack of chips for a call and the 
showed up on the river.
Both players checked the river and Nitsche tabled 
for the best hand. Nitsche scooped a decent-sized pot and has built him a stack to sit among the chip leaders.
Sarah Herring caught up with him and Sofia Lovgren on the break.
