Doubles for Short Stacks Shmakov and Blaison
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Andrei Shmakov got his 146,000 in preflop from the big blind against Vid Zagar in the small blind, and was at risk.
Andrei Shmakov: K♥10♦
Vid Zagar: A♥6♣
Shmakov paired up on the K♣7♠4♠ flop to take the lead. Zagar turned extra outs on the 5♦, but the 2♣ river remained clean for Shmakov to double up.
Shortly after, Hugo Blaison moved in his 138,000 from the hijack. It folded to Derk van Luijk in the big blind, who called.
Hugo Blaison: A♥7♣
Derk van Luijk: K♥Q♦
Blaison locked up the pot by making two pair on the 6♠7♥2♠A♣ turn, and he raked in the chips as soon as the meaningless Q♣ river hit the felt.
