Nikishov Races Tleuzhanov to the Rail
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Sergey Nikishov moved all in for 335,000 from under the gun and the table folded around to Assyl Tleuzhanov who picked up his cards before calling. The dealer pointed out that he exposed his hand before calling, and a tournament official had to be called over. The rest of the table was unanimous that Tleuzhanov had called before his hand was exposed, and his chips were allowed to stay in the middle.
Assyl Tleuzhanov: Q♥Q♠ 
Sergey Nikishov: A♠K♠
Nikishov took the lead on the A♦10♠7♥ flop with a pair of aces, while the rest of the board came 3♠6♠ to improve him to the nut flush. The stacks were counted down and he barely had Tleuzhanov covered, sending him to the rail.
