Rezaei Busts Nikiforov
Level 10
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
This hand was picked up on a board that read 4♣10♠8♣5♦ with approximately 100,000 already in the pot.
Ilya Nikiforov checked from the big blind before Daniel Rezaei bet 110,000 from the hijack.
Nikiforov opted to make the call and sent them to a 5♠ river before he checked. Rezaei went for it all as he put out four stacks of green chips for a total of 400,000. Nikiforov went into the tank, playing multiple time banks as he contemplated his decision.
Eventually, Nikoforov made the call to put himself at risk for 244,000.
He found out the bad news when Rezaei tabled Q♦Q♣ to best Nikiforov's 8♠7♦.
