Battle of Kazakhstan; Ni Takes a Huge Pot From Aubakirov

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

The final two players from Kazakhstan recently tangled in a pot.

Daniyar Aubakirov opened to 50,000 from the cutoff, with Ni calling on the button. A {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop was seen, and Aubakirov continued for 55,000. Ni raised to 135,000, Aubakirov three-bet to 300,000, and Ni called. The {4-Hearts} came on the turn and both players checked to see the {j-Diamonds} on the river.

Aubakirov fired 425,000 and Ni went into the tank. The clock was eventually called, and Ni moved all-in. Aubakirov quickly folded and Ni moved into second in chips.
