Nikiforov Doubles With a Duck
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Ilya Nikiforov was down to 28,500 chips and put them all in when the action folded to him on the button. Markkos Ladev was in the big blind and looked him up.
Ilya Nikiforov: Ax2x
Markkos Ladev: AxQx
Nikiforov was looking for deuce to stay alive in the �25,000 High Roller, and he was immediately presented with one on the 4?5?2? flop. Now it was Ladew who needed to hit to get at least a part of this pot. However, the J? turn and 6? river bricked for him and he doubled up his opponent.
Both players are now hovering around the 20 big blind mark.
