Nikiforov Shows Aces
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Adrian Buckley limped in the cutoff before Anthony Zinno raised to 5,000 on the button. Ilya Nikiforov made the call in the big blind, as did Buckley.
Nikiforov and Buckley checked the K♥K♣9♥ flop and Zinno continued for 11,000. Nikiforov called while Buckley got out of the way.
The dealer revealed the 5♥ turn, where both players checked and the 8♦ river was revealed.
Nikiforov led out with a bet of 20,000, adding chips to his growing stack as Zinno folded.
"Show something," implored Zinno before Nikiforov turned over A♣A♥.
