Arutiun Spikes the River to Leave Nikulin With Crumbs
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Saakian Arutiun and Kostantin Nikulin were heads-up on a flop of 6♥5♠6♠ when Arutiun bet 6,000 from early position. Nikulin then moved all in from the big blind and Arutiun quickly called for his last 21,000.
Saakian Arutiun: A♣5♣
Kostantin Nikulin: 7♠7♥
Arutiun was trailing the sevens of Nikulin as the 2♥ fell on the turn, but the river came the A♦ to give up a higher two pair and the double up. Nikulin shot back in his seat at the sight of the ace and was forced to hand over most of his stack.
