Nikiforov's Aces Send Lau Home

Level 4 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Ilya Nikiforov

Jonas Kronwitter raised to 2,700 under the gun before Ka Kwan Lau three-bet to 10,000 from the next seat. Ilya Nikiforov just called from the hijack and Kronwitter also called.

Kronwitter checked the 4310 flop and Lau jammed for 5,200. Nikiforov raised to 20,000, forcing Kronwitter to fold.

Ka Kwan Lau: KKJ7 All in
Ilya Nikiforov: AA76

Lau was dominated by Nikiforov's two aces and needed some help to survive. The rest of the board ran out Q6, which didn't help Lau, and he was out of the tournament.
