On the next deal, Brzezinski put in 600,000 with 93 on the button. Ostash called J7 in the big blind before check-raising Brzezinski's bet of 700,000 to 2,300,000 on the 4A5 flop.

Tomasz Brzezinski jammed from the button and Mykhailo Ostash called for his tournament life.

Mykhailo Ostash: 44All in
Tomasz Brzezinski: 109

Ostash on Fumes After Getting Counterfeited

Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Mykhailo Ostash
Mykhailo Ostash

Mykhailo Ostash limped his button. Tomasz Brzezinski made it 700,000 in the big blind, which Ostash just called. Both players checked the 929 flop, and Brzezinski checked the 8 turn as well.

Ostash tossed in a bet of 600,000, seeing Brzezinski call. After a third check by Brzezinski on the A river, Ostash piled 1,600,000 into the pot. Brzezinski quickly called to see Ostash table A8.

The river had been detrimental for Ostash's hand, however, as Brzezinski's AK had made a better hand with aces and nines with a king kicker.
