Donnini Nearing 70 Million; Barker on Crumbs
Level 37
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Danilo Donnini found 3♥3♦ in the cutoff and raised to 1,600,000. Vasyl Palandiuk defended his big blind with 8♠7♠ and check-called when Donnini fired 1,800,000 on the 7♦3♠A♦ flop.
Palandiuk checked again on the J♣ turn. Donnini sized up to 4,200,000 with his set, causing Palandiuk to give up on his pair by folding his hand.
The next hand, Oliver Gayko made it 1,800,000 to go in the cutoff with A♠Q♠. The short-stacked Isaac Barker defended 8♥7♥ in the big blind, after which both players checked the 3♠10♥5♦ flop.
Barker also checked the 4♠ turn, prompting Gayko to fire in a bet of 1,200,000. Barker quickly mucked, leaving him with a stack of eight big blinds.
