Nikonov Slows Rybachenko Down

Andrei Nikonov has just brought Sergey Rybachenko’s little renaissance to a grinding halt in the following hand.

Nikonov opens to 60,000 in the cutoff, Rybachenko three-bets to 150,000 on the button. When the action folds around to Nikonov he asks Rybachenko for a count and the response is around 1.8m. 

"385k" Says Nikonov.

He hasn’t even put the chips out there and Rybachenko opens his mouth.

"610k" Says Rybachenko.

Nikonov looks cool. He opens his mouth and says, "All in," and Rybachenko mucks instantly.

Nikonov ~ 3,700,000
Rybachenko ~ 1,200,000
