Level 36 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante
Kuznetsov vs Badziakouski
Kuznetsov vs Badziakouski

Mikita Badziakouski fully assumed control and open-jammed three times to collect the blinds and antes. Michel "CrossfireX" Dattani won the blinds and antes with an open-jam, too.

Matthew "Nator" Hyman min-raised to 240,000 and Badziakouski three-bet to 552,000, earning the pot right there.

Badziakouski then raised to 240,000 and Elio Fox piled it in for just shy of 2.5 million

Timothy Kuznetsov eventually jammed his tiny stack from the small blind and was called by Badziakouski.

Timofey Kuznetsov: {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Mikita Badziakouski: {a-Hearts}{3-Spades}

The {j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} board gave Kuznetsov two pair and a double.

Timofey Kuznetsov had previously escaped from elimination when his dominated ace chopped with Mikita Badziakouski. The Russian then open-jammed the small blind for 828,824 once more and Badzikouski called.

Timofey Kuznetsov: {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}
Mikita Badziakouski: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

The {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop kept Kuznetsov in the lead but that changed on the {9-Clubs} turn. Only a deuce would do for the Russian, who missed on the {5-Spades} river to depart in 5th place for $349,647.

Fox Left With Crumbs

Level 37 : 70,000/140,000, 17,500 ante

Elio Fox min-raise folded to a three-bet by Mikita Badziakouski.

The Belorussian then opened to 280,000 on the button and Fox defended the big blind. On the {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop, Fox check-called for 140,000 and did so again for 333,200 on the {4-Hearts} turn. Fox also checked the {a-Diamonds} river and Badziakouski bt 823,200, which covered his opponent.

That broke the resistance of Fox, who dipped below a million in chips.

Fox Scores a Double

Level 37 : 70,000/140,000, 17,500 ante

Mikita Badziakouski was having fun for the past dozen hands and won all but one to dramatically increase his advantage.

Michel "CrossfireX" Dattani eventually three-bet out of the big blind and Fox called all-in.

Elio Fox: {j-Clubs}{8-Spades}
Michel "CrossfireX" Dattani: {q-Spades}{3-Hearts}

The board ran out {9-Spades}{4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and Fox got there on the river.
