Erik Friberg raised to 1,300 in the cutoff and was three-bet to 3,900 by Mihails Nikitins on the button. Piotr Sztenkiel then four-bet to 9,600 from the big blind, forcing out Friberg.
Nikitins put in a call, however, and saw a flop of 8♦7♦Q♥ be spread. Sztenkiel continued for 10,000, which Nikitins raised to 21,000.
Sztenkiel then quickly moved in, and Nikitins sighed as he called off for his stack of 38,000.
Mihails Nikitins: 7♠7♣
Piotr Sztenkiel: Q♦Q♣
Both players had flopped sets, leaving Nikitins with just one out. Neither the 8♠ turn nor A♥ river provided him with the last seven in the deck, making Nikitins the first elimination of the highroller.
Piotr Sztenkiel – 91,000
Erik Friberg – 60,000
Mihails Nikitins – 0
