Nikiforov Downs Da Silva
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Ilya Nikiforov open-raised to 4,000 from early position before Leonardo Da Silva pushed his stack of 35,500 in the middle from the hijack. The action folded back to NIkiforov, who asked for a count. When that was given to him, he made the call to put Da Silva at risk.
Leonardo Da Silva: A♥J♥
Ilya Nikiforov: A♣K♥
Da Silva flopped a flush draw on 6♥4♥Q♠ and the 10♣ turn brought him even more outs. Too many, as some would say, as Nikiforov's ace-king held when the 9♣ river completed the board.
Nikiforov is now playing near 250,000 chips and is among the bigger stacks in the room.
