Nyuli Has Kicker Problems
Level 22
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Italo Modena made it 500,000 under the gun and Tibor Nyuli three-bet to 1,000,000 from the hijack with just 300,000 behind. Dmitry Kukhtarev four-bet from the cutoff to 3,000,000, which forced Modena to fold. After using all six of his time banks, Nyuli called for the remainder of his stack.
Tibor Nyuli: A♠J♣ 
Dmitry Kukhtarev: A♥Q♠
Kukhtarev dominated Nyuli as the two saw the flop come down 5♥4♥8♣. The rest of the board came 5♠K♥ and Kukhtarev's ace-queen held up, sending Nyuli to the rail.
