Nikitin Flips Sibgatova to the Rail
Level 19
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Anatoly Nikitin opened to 32,000 from under the gun and Alisa Sibgatova three-bet to 105,000 from the cutoff, leaving roughly 160,000 behind. Nikitin moved all in with a covering stack and Sibgatova snap-called.
Alisa Sibgatova: Q?Q?
Anatoly Nikitin: A?K?
It was a classic preflop race that Nikitin got the better of on the A?6?3? flop. He remained ahead on the 10? turn and K? river to send Sibgatova to the rail in the first hand of the day and score nearly a full double up.
