Nixon Runs Into Kings

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Recep Aydemir raised to 65,000 from middle position before Yury Bochkarev three-bet on the button to 165,000. Jamie Nixon, in the big blind, asked Aydemir how much he had behind before he shoved all in.

Aydemir folded, but Bochkarev snap-called and slammed down {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} on the table. Nixon turned over {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} and was looking for help to stay alive.

The board ran out {3-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Bochkarev's kings stayed in front. The stacks were counted down and Bochkarev narrowly had Nixon's remaining 1,000,000 covered, sending the Brit to the rail.
