Nikiforov's Chances Negated
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Ilya Nikiforov moved his last 111,000 over the line from the cutoff. Ivan Poroliev spent one of his time banks before calling in the big blind, covering his opponent.
Ilya Nikiforov: Q♣8♣ 
Ivan Poroliev: K♣J♦
Nikiforov had a pair and a flush draw after the 6♦3♣8♥7♣ turn for a sizable lead, but the K♥ river gave Poroliev a higher pair to knock out Nikiforov in brutal fashion.
