Nikiforov's Pair of Kings Good in Multi-Way Pot
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Nenad Dukic open-raised to 1,000 from early position and picked up four callers, including Ilya Nikiforov on the button and Arthur Thiriart in the big blind.
The flop came Q♦K♥5♥ and action checked to Nikiforov, who bet 2,500. Only Thiriart made the call. The turn was the 6♠ and Thiriart checked. Nikiforov made it 4,500 and Thiriart called.
Both players checked it back on the 10♠ river to take it to showdown. Nikiforov showed K♣8♣ for a pair of kings, which was enough to win the pot as his opponent mucked.
