Vaka Vanquishes Vohandu; Solojev on Seven Figures
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
It folded to Kaarel Vohandu in the small blind, who ripped his 235,000 chips in the middle. Monica Vaka was the big blind, and she counted out a call before committing it to the middle.
Kaarel Vohandu: K♠7♠
Monica Vaka: Q♠J♣
Vohandu was slightly ahead, but the deck favored Vaka as she paired up on the 4♣Q♦9♥ flop. The 7♥ turn brought Vohandu extra outs, but the 3♣ river could not save him.
Vohandu said his goodbyes, seeing his chips being shipped to Vaka. Meanwhile, Paul Solovjev was also seated at this table and had become the second player in the tournament to cross the one-million mark.
