Minkov Makes Flush to Bust Nikiforov
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Ilya Nikiforov open-raised to 2,400 from early position, Nikola Minkov called on the button and the big blind came along.
The flop came 10♥4♠4♥ and the big blind checked. Nikiforov bet 3,200 and only Minkov called. On the 3♥ turn, Nikiforov bet 10,000, leaving himself just 15,700 behind. Minkov used a time bank card before making the call.
The river was the 6♠ and Nikiforov pushed all in for the rest of his stack. Minkov didn't hesitate before making the call with the bigger stack. Nikiforov showed J♦J♠ for two pair, jacks with the fours on board. Minkov, however, had 7♥6♥ for a flush. He won the pot and Nikiforov was sent to the rail.
