Anatoly Nikitin Eliminated in 7th Place ($65,479)

Erick Torres

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

Anatoly Nikitin opened to 400,000 from early position, committing most of his stack in the process. Daniyal Gheba called on the button.

Nikitin put in his final 45,000 on the 3♦8♦J♥ flop, and Gheba put in the call to put Nikitin at risk.

Anatoly Nikitin: A♣4♣ All in
Daniyal Gheba: A♥9♦

Nikitin had kicker problems, and that proved to be consequential as the K♦ turn and 2♦ river kept Gheba ahead to eliminate Nikitin in seventh place.

Nikitin earned $65,479 for his effort.
