Fal Doubles on the Bubble
Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
With a stack that covered the entire table, Benjamin Nicault jammed from the cutoff. Nikolay Fal, who was seated in the big blind, took a few moments and then made the call for his stack of 100,000.
Nikolay Fal: A♥K♦ 
Benjamin Nicault: A♦6♥
Fal just had to fade a six on the runout to double up on the bubble.
A clean runout of 9♦5♥2♥5♦J♠ came out for Fal's big slick, and he managed to survive elimination.
