Nikiforov Starts to Chip Up
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Matthew Woodward raised the cutoff to 15,000 and only Ilya Nikiforov called from the small blind.
Nikiforov check-called a bet of 15,000 from Woodward on the 9♦Q♥5♣ flop.
Both players checked the 8♣ turn to see the Q♦ appear on the river, where, after another round of checking, Nikiforov flipped over A♠J♠10♦7♣3♦ for a straight to win the pot.
