Badziakouski Doubles; Katchalov Misses Royal Flush Draw
Level 7
: 400/800, 100 ante
Eugene Katchalov opened the action to 1,800 from the hijack, Jorryt van Hoof called from the button before Liviu Ignat squeezed to 8,400 out of the small blind. A shortstacked Mikita Badziakouski committed his remaining 15,900 from the big blind, which led to Katchalov shoving over for almost 70,000. That was too steep a price for van Hoof and Ignat who both folded, and the hands were on their back.
Eugene Katchalov: 
Mikita Badziakouski: 
"That's pretty good for me", Badziakouski said, and on a flop of 
the Belarusian stayed in front.
The turn 
gave Katchalov additional outs to either counterfeit the tens or hit a diamond, but it was not to be. The river was the 
, and Badziakouski scored the double.
