Badziakouski Passes Two Million

Livello 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

On a board of 5♦10♣10♥ the action was checked to Mikhail Vilkov who put out a bet of 25,000 from the button. It was then on Mikita Badziakouski in the small blind who called and the J♦ hit the turn.

The action checked through to an A♦ river and Badziakouski took a moment and then bet 75,000. Vilkov tanked for almost two minutes before putting in a call.

Badziakouski tabled A♥8♥ for a great thin value bet and Vilkov mucked.

Jaka Can't Beat Ladies

Livello 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Following an early position raise to 26,000, Faraz Jaka moved all in for 217,000 in the hijack. Nils Mikelsons rejammed in the small blind and everyone else folded.

Faraz Jaka: A♦10♦
Nils Mikelsons: Q♦Q♣

The 7♦5♦2♣ flop spiced things up as Jaka picked up a flush draw, and the 4♠ turn gave him a wheel draw. However, the Q♥ river did not help him in any way, shape, or form, and Jaka made his exit.

Varis Rivers the Super Nuts

Livello 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Aku Varis moved all in for 175,000 from middle position before the action folded all the way to Kesiena Otite in the big blind who called for less.

Aku Varis: K♠10♠
Kesiena Otite: A♣Q♣

Varis needed some help and the A♠Q♠10♦ flop only put Otite in a commanding lead. The 7♣ turn was a total brick but hope was not lost for Varis who could hit a jack or a spade to win. Lucky for him, he got both.

The miracle J♠ hit the river giving Varis the royal flush and sending Otite to the rail.

Giocatore	Chip	Avanzamento
Aku Varis	348,000 195,000	195,000
Kesiena Otite	Eliminato
