Nikolajew Hits the Rail
Level 8
: 300/600, 100 ante
Frenchman Dimitri Nikolajew got off to a good start in this tournament, but he just watched his stack evaporate into thin air.
Nikolajew came over to our table and explained how he ran the nut flush, with

After this hand Nikolajew had some swings, but never got back to his peak-stack of 42,000.
"A new player came to the table and he played every hand, even the bulls**t hands," Nikolajew explained.
Against this player Nikolajew made a call down with 
on a board with mostly low cards, but he lost against 
which had made a pair of sixes.
On his final hand Nikolajew ran 
into 
for his last 14 big blinds, and he'll now be looking to win another seat in one of tonight's satellites.
