Voronin Gets Back on Track at Vaskaboinikau's Expense

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau

One of the biggest pots of the day was recalled to PokerNews. Mikalai Vaskaboinikau opened the button to 5,500 and Konstantin Voronin three-bet the small blind to 16,000. Vaskaboinikau then four-bet to 65,000, and Voronin called.

They saw a flop of J85x where Voronin led out for 60,000. then Vaskaboinikau shoved his stack of around 250,000 into the middle. Voronin called for slightly less.

Voronin had lost a chunk of his starting stack but had two chances to win it all back and would do so if he could find a six or a diamond on the runout. The Russian player only needed one attempt as the K turn gave him the nut flush, which left Vaskaboinikau drawing dead.

Shortly after, Vaskaboinikau got his last 22,000 in the middle and couldn't spin up a stack, meaning he hit the rail and Voronin had his stack back.
