Nikitin Eliminated; Final Three Tables

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Anatoly Nikitin
Anatoly Nikitin

Short-stacked Anatoly Nikitin moved all in for his last 80,000 and then Fabrice Bigot re-raised to 200,000 to isolate. The other players got out of the way and the cards were tabled.

Anatoly Nikitin: Q♠Q♦
Fabrice Bigot: K♦4♦

Nikitin was in a good position to double up with his pocket queens but the flop of K♥A♦2♣ was heartbreaking as it gave Bigoit the lead with his pair of kings. The runout of J♦7♣ did not help Nikitin and he was sent to the payout desk.

With his elimination, the players are now down to the final three tables.
