Battle of the Short Stacks, Tikhonov Prevails

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Miltiadis Kyriakides and Sergey Tikhonov were both getting short. Tikhonov looked down at {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts} and Kyriakides decided {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} was good enough to go with.

Each put their stack in the center preflop and Tikhonov had a relatively easy sweat with a {q-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Spades}{a-Spades}{q-Hearts} board, sending Kyriakides to the rail and climbing just a bit out of the danger zone.
