Nikiforov Five-bets
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Andrew Chen raised to 500 from the hijack, receiving a call from Ilya Nikiforov, in the cutoff. Stephen Chidwick, in the big blind, three-bet to 3,000, to which Chen responded with a four-bet to 8,200.
Nikiforov used a time bank before coming in with a five-bet to 17,000. Both opponents snap-folded.
"Did you guys both see my hand?" Chidwick jokingly asked as Nikiforov stacked his chips.
