Nicolai Comes From Behind to Double Into the Lead

David Salituro

Level 41 : Blinds 750,000/1,500,000, 1,500,000 ante

Mengshi Tian raised to 4,000,000 on the button. Alexis Nicolai moved all in for 40,675,000, and Tian snap-called.

Alexis Nicolai: A♦3♦ All in
Mengshi Tian: A♥10♦

Tian had Nicolai dominated with a chance to close out the tournament, but the flop brought 3♣5♠6♦ to give Nicolai a pair of threes.

"Three again!" Nicolai shouted out as the board ran out 9♠A♣ to secure his double up.
