Ostash Doubles, Takes Chip Lead, After Catching Brzezinski Speeding
Level 32
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Tomasz Brzezinski limped in from the button and Mykhailo Ostash checked his option from the big blind.
On the 10♣8♦4♠ flop, Ostash check-raised to 1,300,000 over a bet of 400,000. Brzezinski called. The 8♣ turn paired the board and Ostash check-called for 1,800,000, bringing in the A♦ river.
Ostash had 4,400,000 behind, and called for his tournament life when Brzezinski jammed as the bigger stack.
Mykhailo Ostash: 10♦4♣
Tomasz Brzezinski: 7♦6♥
Brzezinski was caught speeding with his missed double-gutter and Ostash banked his fourth double-up thanks to his tens and eights.
