Badziakouski Shoves On Carrel, Holz Wins a Small One

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Charlie Carrel made it 2,500 to go from the small blind and Mikita Badziakouski took nearly the full 30-seconds before moving all-in.

"I don't know what I'm supposed to do here..." stated Carrel, mulling over his decision but he eventually chose to let it go.

Carrel raised to 2,000 from the button the following hand to take the blinds.

Mikita Badziakouski folded the button and Fedor Holz limped from the small blind the next hand and Carrel bumped it up to 3,000 from the big blind. Holz thought it over and tossed in the call.

The {4-Hearts}{a-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop brought a check from Holz and a bet of 2,000 from Carrel, which Holz called. Both players checked the {j-Clubs} turn and the {2-Clubs} river and Carrel showed six-two offsuit for a rivered pair but it is not good enough to beat Holz' {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and he wins a small pot off Carrel.

Carrel and Holz Chop, Carrel Wins One From Badziakouski

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Fedor Holz raised to 2,000 from the button and Charlie Carrel three-bet from the small blind to 5,700, Holz four-bet to 12,000, Carrel shoved and Holz called.

Fedor Holz: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Charlie Carrel: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

The board ran out {7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-} {4-} {7-Spades} to let Carrel off the hook with a chop to a cry of "Noooooooo!" from Holz.

"He is beatable... ish" chuckled Carrel as the pot was split up.

Carrel took a bite out of Badziakouski's stack a couple of hands later after Badziakouski limped the button and Carrel checked his option in the big blind following a Holz fold from the small blind.

The {7-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop brought a 1,000 bet from Carrel and a call from Badziakouski to take the action to the {3-Hearts} turn.

Carrel checked, Badziakouski bet 2,000 and Carrel check-raised to 6,500 and after thinking about it Badziakouski made the call.

The {4-Spades} river brought an 8,800 bet from Carrel and sent Badziakouski into the think tank. Badziakouski burned a time breaker chip thinking it over (he now has two left) but eventually folded.

Carrel Flushes Badziakouski

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Mikita Badziakouski opened the action with a raise to 1,800 from the button and after Fedor Holz folded the small blind Charlie Carrel called from the big blind to take play heads-up.

The flop came down {8-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Carrel check-called a Badziakouski 1,800 continuation bet to take the action to the {5-Hearts} turn, which both players checked.

The {2-Hearts} river brought four to a heart flush and Carrel led for 4,700 to send Badziakouski deep into the think tank and he burned a time breaker chip while he mulled it over but eventually threw in the call.

Carrel turned over {q-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a turned flush and Badziakouski folded.

Badziakouski is down to three time breaker chips, Carrel has three and Holz still has all four.
