Badziakouski Back on a Nub

Level 12 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Aaron van Blarcum bet 70,000 in the cutoff with {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{6-Spades} on the felt, and Mikita Badziakouski called in the small blind. The river was a {7-Clubs} and Badziakouski checked. Van Blarcum quickly bet 215,000.

"Not much for you, but for me, it's a lot of my stack," Badziakouski mused.

He used a time extension then called, but van Blarcum had the goods with {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}.

"Thought it was a good river, but I guess not," Badziakouski said.

Level 12 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Tsugunari Toma
Tsugunari Toma

Kahle Burns opened on the button, Tsugunari Toma shoved in the big blind, and Burns quickly called with {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. Toma was dominated with {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and the {2-Spades}{7-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} flop brought him nothing. He did pick up some outs on the {6-Hearts} turn, but the river was a {10-Spades}.

Stacks were counted and Burns had 664,000, which was a bit more than Toma, who looked to be just south of 600,000.

Level 12 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Mikita Badziakouski
Mikita Badziakouski

Aaron van Blarcum made it 50,000 in the cutoff and Mikita Badziakouski defended his big blind with a call.

A flop of {2-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{a-Spades} hit the felt and Badziakouski checked. Van Blarcum moved all in for an effective 166,000 and Badziakouski called off.

Van Blarcum turned up {q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and he was ahead of Badziakouski who had an inferior kicker to his nine with {9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}.

The {4-Hearts} turn and {7-Spades} river didn't help Badziakouski who left the tournament in 12th place.
