Nicholas Sliwinski Doubles Through Nikolay Losev

The action was folded around to Nicholas Sliwinski in the small blind and he raised to 240,000. Nicolay Losev moved all in for 3.25 million and Sliwinski said, "If I'm going home, I'm going home." He called, and found that his {A-Spades} {10-Hearts} was indeed ahead of Losev's {Q-Clubs} {3-Clubs}.

The flop came {7-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} and the turn the {K-Hearts}. "Don't do me dirty," Sliwinski said to the dealer, and on the river the {7-Spades} fell and Sliwinski's hand held up. He now sits with 3.45 million while Losev is down to 1.66 million.
