Van Gent's Aces Send Michalak Home
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Cornelis Van Gent opened the cutoff to 80,000 and Jakub Michalak launched his stack of around 400,000 into the middle from the big blind. Van Gent snap-called.
Jakub Michalak: A♣10♠ 
Cornelis Van Gent: A♦A♥
Michalak was in a world of pain and needed to find some backdoor action when the flop fell J♣8♥3♦. A Q♦ did open up some of those backdoor opportunties, but the 4♣ on the river swiftly closed them, ending Michalak's run.
