Ni Doubles and Leaves Zdanovskyi Very Short

Last but not least, the clock was about to run down for the level while Yurii Zdanovskyi had raised to 22,000. Ni was on the button and waited until 10 seconds remaining before announcing all in. The blinds folded and Zdanovskyi snap-called.

The flop came and Ni said in Russian "give someone a set." Sure enough, the appeared on the turn and Ni improved to a set. A blank river let the rail of Ni celebrate and Zdanovskyi will return for the next level with less than two big blinds.
