Wojciechowski on Piles After Eliminating Mykhailov; Vauquelin Deeply Regrets Fold
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Andrii Mykhailov had pushed all in for 74,000 in the hijack and was called by Pawel Wojciechowski on the button.
Laurent Vauquelin then made it 200,000 to go in the small blind, after which Wojciechowski reshoved.
Vauquelin went deep into the tank, eventually deciding to preserve the 80 big blinds he had behind by mucking his cards. However, the Frenchman shot up in frustration when the cards were revealed.
Andrii Mykhailov: A♣J♣ 
Pawel Wojciechowski: J♥J♦
Wojciechowski comfortably won the hand when the 10♥4♣5♥7♠7♦ board remained free of aces, knocking out Mykhailov.
Once Mykhailov had said his goodbyes, Vauquelin admitted he had folded queens and thus missed out on winning the biggest pot of the tournament so far.
