Within two hands, Mikalai Vaskaboinikau doubled and then busted to join the rail in 5th place.

Alex Foxen raised to 85,000 and Vaskaboinikau moved all in for 335,000, which Foxen called.

Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}
Alex Foxen: {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

The board came {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and Vaskaboinikau doubled.

In the very next hand, he three-bet all in when facing the raise to 85,000 by Benjamin Pollak and the Frenchman quickly called.

Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Benjamin Pollak: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

This time, the Belarusian found no help on a board of {9-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}{6-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and headed to the rail in 5th place. Vaskaboinikau had won his seat for the event in a €5,200 Satellite the previous evening and turned that into a payday of €267,800.
