Sikora Eliminates Kaigorodtsev on the Bubble

Dan O'Hair

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Mateusz Sikora opened to 12,000 from the hijack and was called by Andrei Kaigorodtsev in the big blind.

Kaigorodtsev proceeded to check-call bets from Sikora on every street. First for 10,000 on the 10♠10♦K♦ flop, then for 30,000 on the 3♠ turn, and lastly for Kaigorodtsev's last 65,000 on the 4♥ river after a lengthy tank.

Sikora tabled 10♥5♣ for trip tens and Kaigorodtsev let out a sigh of disappointment as he revealed K♥J♥ for kings-up to be eliminated on the stone bubble.
