Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Mikita Badziakouski limped in from the small blind before Aleksejs Ponakovs raised to 27,000. Badziakouski came back with a reraise to 90,000 and Ponakovs called.

The flop came {q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and Badziakouski continued for 45,000. Ponakovs called to see the {10-Spades} fall on the turn.

Badziakouski bet another 90,000 and Ponakovs used a time bank before calling once again. The river came the {5-Clubs} and Badziakouski slowed down and checked. Ponakovs then shoved all in and Badziakouski, with around 250,000 remaining, tanked for a moment before sliding his cards in the muck.

At another table, Elton Tsang was all in for 107,000 and up against Michael Soyza. Tsang had Soyza dominated with {a-Spades}{q-Clubs} against {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}.

The board ran out {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Spades}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Soyza rivered a flush to knock out Tsang. "GG," Tsang said as he tapped the table before heading for the exit.
