Bako Soars to a Milly After Stacking Golubev
Mazalahedwa Bako just took down a huge pot to boost his stack into seven-figure territory as the day approaches its end.
Bako opened to 12,000 from middle position and Andrey Golubev called from the button. Milos Todorevic also called from the small blind.
On the 2♦5♣6♠ flop, it checked to Golubev, who immediately slid out a bet of 100,000, leaving around 30,000 behind. Todorevic quickly called, then Bako shoved his stack in just as fast!
Golubev joined the quick-decision club and called off his last 30,000, which left Todorevic with a lot of thinking to do. After around ninety seconds, Todorevic decided to let his hand go.
Andrey Golubev: 6♥3♥ 
Mazalahedwa Bako: 9♥9♦
Bako was in the lead with his pair of nines, but Golubev had outs with his pair and straight draw. The 5♦ turn removed some of Golubev's outs as a three would no longer help him, and the 8♦ river meant he was out with a few minutes remaining in the day.
