Nikitin Flips Sibgatova to the Rail
Level 19
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Anatoly Nikitin opened to 32,000 from under the gun and Alisa Sibgatova three-bet to 105,000 from the cutoff, leaving roughly 160,000 behind. Nikitin moved all in with a covering stack and Sibgatova snap-called.
Alisa Sibgatova: Q♠Q♦
Anatoly Nikitin: A♠K♥
It was a classic preflop race that Nikitin got the better of on the A♦6♥3♦ flop. He remained ahead on the 10♥ turn and K♦ river to send Sibgatova to the rail in the first hand of the day and score nearly a full double up.
