Nikiforov's Aces Send Lau Home

Level 4 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Ilya Nikiforov
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 4♥3♥10♦ flop and Lau jammed for 5,200. Nikiforov raised to 20,000, forcing Kronwitter to fold.

Ka Kwan Lau: K♣K♥J♠7♥ All in
Ilya Nikiforov: A♠A♦7♣6♥

Lau was dominated by Nikiforov's two aces and needed some help to survive. The rest of the board ran out Q♥6♦, which didn't help Lau, and he was out of the tournament.
