Nikolov Drills the Turn to Bust Naoun
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Svetoslav Nikolov raised to 40,000 in the hijack before Adel Naoun three-bet to 120,000 in the cutoff. Nikolov called and they went heads-up to the Q?J?3? flop.
Naoun then moved all in for 400,000. "Why so much," Nikolov asked before he called.
Adel Naoun: Q?J? 
Svetoslav Nikolov: A?Q?
Naoun had flopped two pair to take the lead over Nikolov's top pair of queens, but the A? turn improved Nikolov to a better two pair. The river was the 8? and Naoun was sent to the rail.
