Kovalski Doubles Through Nikiforov
Level 31
: 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Ilya Nikiforov opened to 500,000 from under the gun and action folded to Fabiano Kovalski in the big blind, who moved all in. Nikiforov made the call to put Kovalski at risk.
Fabiano Kovalski: 
Ilya Nikiforov: 
Kovalski was behind but did have two live cards. The 
flop changed nothing but the 
turn did give Kovalski an open-ended straight. He did not need it, however, as he paired up on the 
river to secure the double up.
