Nikulin gives Gonzales a tough time


Martin Gonzales found himself in a tough spot during a hand agains Russian player Roman Nikulin. Action began with a raise by Nikulin on the hj seat which was three-bet from the button by Gonzales to 10K. Challenging him back was Nikulin with a 4-bet to 21K, which Gonzales flat-called.

Flop: 6 2 8

Nikulin began the betting by sending out 17500, Gonzales replied with a raise to 37500, and Nikulin shoved for another 36,600 to call. This sent Gonzales tanking hard and after some time, he folded and Nikulin claimed a sizeable pot to add to his arsenal.  He now has around 170K chips.
