Ruban Wins a Flip to Leave Nikitin Short

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/10,000, 100,000 ante

Ivan Ruban made it 450,000 from middle position, which was for just under half his stack. Anatoly Nikitin shoved the cutoff for around 1,500,000, and once the rest of the table folded, Ruban called to put himself at risk.

Ivan Ruban: 8♥8♣ All in
Anatoly Nikitin: A♠Q♣

Ruban was flipping for his tournament with the pair against Nikitin's two overcards.

The 4♠10♠J♥ flop gave Nikitin some extra outs, but he was unable to find any of them on the 9♥ turn or 2♣ river.

Ruban doubled and Nikitin was the new table short stack.
