Nikiforov Forces A Fold
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
A player opened to 2,500 on the button and was called by the small blind as well as Ilya Nikiforov out of the big blind.
Both blinds checked on a flop of 
and the button continued for 4,000. The small blind got out of the way while Nikiforov called to send the two remaining players heads-up to the turn.
The 
turn saw Nikiforov lead out for 5,500 and, after some consideration, his opponent folded. Nikiforov, who just last week finished 3rd in WSOP Event #67: $10,000 Super Turbo Bounty for a career high $254,791, has now moved past the 100,000 mark.
