Plichta Picks His Spot

Vitaly Tolokonnikov started the action with a raise to 55,000, and Vadim Markushevski three-bet it up to 135,000. In the next seat over, short stack Lucasz Plichta looked to the heavens, grabbed his chips, and moved all in for 315,000. That was enough to quickly fold Tolokonnikov, and Markushevski made the call with the covering stack to put Plichta at risk of elimination.

Showdown
Markushevski: {A-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}
Plichta: {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts}

The board would run safe for the Pole, coming {10-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {J-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}. With his pair of queens holding, Plichta finally gets the double up he's been waiting for, and his new stack of 739,000 vaults him all the way up to fourth place overall.
