Hicks Doubles Through Turaliyev
Level 27
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
The short-stacked Nick Hicks was all-in for 945,000 and at risk after being called by Kairat Turaliyev.
Nick Hicks: K♦K♥
Kairat Turaliyev: 8♠10♣
Hicks' pair of kings were in great shape and improved to a set on the K♠9♦7♥ flop, although his opponent still had outs with his up and down straight draw.
However any hopes of a turnaround were extinguished by the 7♦ turn, giving Hicks a full house and leaving his opponent drawing dead. The A♥ completed the runout.
