Vaskaboinikau Gets a Full Double With One Pair
Level 1
: Blinds 4,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
There were already around 160,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 8♠4♣Q♥ when Ville Wahlbeck checked from from the small blind and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau tapped the table from the big blind. "Dubai Police" was under the gun and bet 80,000, which only Vaskaboinikau called.
A 7♥ hit the turn and Vaskaboinikau moved all in for 278,000, which "Dubai Police" called after some time in the tank.
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: 10♦9♥8♥5♣ 
"Dubai Police": A♠K♥9♦5♥
Vaskaboinikau was ahead with his pair of eights, and the 2♣ river was as bricky as they come, which meant he got the double-up he needed after a slow start.
