Nikolov Spikes an Ace to Double Off Tabiyev
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
A player in the hijack raised to 11,000 and Boris Tabiyev called on the button before Svetoslav Nikolov moved all in for 111,000 in the small blind. The hijack quickly folded, while Tabiyev confirmed the amount before calling.
Svetoslav Nikolov: A?J? 
Boris Tabiyev: 7?7?
The 5?10?8? flop kept Tabiyev's pair in the lead, but Nikolov hit the A? on the turn to make a pair of aces. The river was the K? and Nikolov doubled up.
