Brutal River Ends Nikitina's Main Event
Level 23
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Andreas Christoforou made it 675,000 from the first position, and Natalia Nikitina three-bet to 1,600,000 from the big blind with around 5,000,000 behind. Christoforou thought for a few moments before he shoved to put Nikitina all in. Nikitina snap-called.
Natalia Nikitina: K♠K♥ 
Andreas Christoforou: 9♦9♥
Nikitina had Christoforou crushed as the two saw the flop come down 7♣5♣7♥. The J♠ turn meant only a two-outer on the river would send Nikitina to the rail. The river was the 9♣ to give Christoforou the winner with a full house, ending Nikitina's Main Event dreams in brutal fashion.
