Fal Left Short as Aubakirov Wins Flip
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Daniyar Aubakirov had last 160,000 chips in the middle and was put at risk by Nikolay Fal.
Daniyar Aubakirov: A♠10♦ 
Nikolay Fal: 7♦7♠
Both players were short-stacked but it was Aubakirov who needed to win the flip to remain alive. Aubakirov got off to a good start on the K♣Q♣A♣ flop as he paired his ace, and he held on as neither the 2♦ turn nor 4♣ river could improve Fal.
