Kulev Cracks Nikiforov's Aces
Level 5
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Ilya Nikiforov was all in preflop with a short stack and was called by Alex Kulev, who had him well covered as players turned their cards.
Ilya Nikiforov: A?A?
Alex Kulev: Q?J?
The board ran out Q?2?J?5?Q?. Nikiforov had pocket aces, but the runout gave Kulev two pair on the flop and a full house by the river. Nikiforov looked across and smiled as he took his leave.
