Yau Removed by Nikiforov
Level 4
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Ilya Nikiforov raised to 4,000 from the hijack and quickly faced resistance as Ethan Yau three-bet to 12,000 from the cutoff. The action folded back to Nikiforov, who called.
Nikiforov checked to Yau on a 7♣J♦4♦ flop, who bet 10,000, and had just 27,000 behind. Nikiforov moved all-in, and Yau called.
Ethan Yau: A♥K♠
Ilya Nikiforov: A♣J♣
Nikiforov had flipped the script on his preflop domination, and when the 3♥ turn and 7♠ river kept Nikiforov in the lead, Yau took his leave from the table.
