Badziakouski Bounces Back

Level 4 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Having recently lost a couple of pots, Mikita Badziakouski found himself in the cutoff facing a raise to 4,000 from under-the-gun player Jamil Wakil. Badziakouski decided to get back in the saddle and put in a three-bet to 14,000, which Wakil called.

The dealer provided the AA3 flop, which saw Wakil check-call a bet of 9,000.

Badziakouski turned up the heat on the 6 turn, placing a bet of 50,000 when Wakil checked for a second time.

This was enough to see Wakil let go of his cards and return Badziakouski to winning ways.

Pardo Continues to Build

Level 4 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Seeing a raise to 4,000 ahead of him, [Removed:607] made the call on the button. Acting from the small blind, Juan Pardo put in a three-bet to 23,000. The original raiser folded, but Muller stuck around to see at least three more cards.

Both players checked on the 96Q flop before Pardo checked again on the 7 turn. [Removed:608] took the invitation to take over the betting lead, placing a bet of 36,000, which Pardo called.

The 8 river slowed both players down, seeing both of them check.

Pardo flipped over Q10, revealing he had rivered a straight. [Removed:608] mucked his cards, and the dealer pushed the pot in the direction of Pardo.

Kaladjurdjevic Puts Badziakouski In the Blender

Level 4 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The action was joined on the river with 41,000 already in the pot, and under-the-gun player Mikita Badziakouski locked in battle with big blind Dejan Kaladjurdjevic.

With the full board showing 96A6K, Kaladjurdjevic opted to move all in, an overbet of 64,000. This put Badziakouski deep into the tank, using two of his allotted time extensions before reluctantly folding.

As Badziakouski attempted to find out what his opponent had, Kaladjurdjevic quietly returned his cards to the dealer, face down.

Binder First to be Eliminated

Level 4 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Bernhard Binder
Bernhard Binder

Juan Pardo started the action with a raise from under the gun to 4,000. When play folded to Bernhard Binder in the big blind, he opted to three-bet to 15,000. Pardo didn't take too long before sliding a tower of chips into the middle, signalling a four-bet which was enough to cover Binder's remaining 68,500 stack. Binder called, and the players flipped their cards over.

Bernhard Binder: QQ All in
Juan Pardo: AK

The classic poker flip had Pardo behind, but it didn't take long to catch up.

A KJ5 flop saw Pardo improve to top pair, and when the dealer completed the board with the 6 turn and 8 river, there was no reprieve for Binder, who headed to the exit.
