Level 21 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Erik Seidel opened the button to 200,000 with {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and was called by Mikita Badziakouski in the big blind with {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}.

Seidel smashed the flop of {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and continued for 125,000 when checked to. Badziakouski elected on a check-raise to 350,000 and Seidel quickly called.

The {5-Clubs} hit the turn and Badziakouski kept the aggression up with a bet of 375,000, which Seidel called.

On the {j-Clubs} river Badziakouski slowed down with a check and Seidel chose a sizing of 600,000. Badziakouski took a moment but reluctantly made the fold, sending the pot to Seidel.

Kevin Paque limped from the small blind with {q-Clubs}{j-Spades} and Mikita Badziakouski checked his option with {8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}.

The flop came {j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Paque led for 120,000, which Badziakouski made the call. On the {9-Spades} turn Paque came with a sizing of 275,000 into Badziakouski who made a straight and tossed in a call.

The {9-Clubs} completed the board and Paque took roughly a minute before betting 350,000. Badziakouski cut out raising chips and slid out 1,500,000. Paque was faced with a tough decision, but after some thought, made the correct fold.
