So, in this case, they have the second nuts (King high flush).
Their opponent puts out a pot-sized bet on the river, and the tight player goes into the tank.
After a great deal of thought, the tight player elects to call.
This is a "nitroll" because there is no way that they are raising the river, as they were a very tight player that is going to be worried about the nut flush.
So, they are left with two choices - call or fold.
There is NO way that you can fold a King-high flush with no full house possibilities in this situation, so, by taking their time on the river to make the call, they are "nitrolling" their opponent.
