Nikitin Adds to Big Stack
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Anatoly Nikitin raised under the gun to 1,600, and when it folded to the big blind he went all in for 7,400. Nikitin made the call to put the player at risk.
Big Blind: 9♦8♦ 
Anatoly Nikitin: A♣Q♦
The big blind would need to improve against the ace high of Nikitin, and the 10♥10♦K♣ flop was no help. However, the turn brought the 9♠ to put him in the lead. But the lead was short lived when the river came the Q♣ to give Nikitin the pot with his pair of queens and eliminated his opponent.
