Gabdullin's Turn to Double
Level 27
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Mikita Badziakouski raised to 600,000 from under the gun, and Damir Gabdullin jammed for 1,775,000 from the next seat. After giving it plenty of thought, Badziakouski decided to take him for a spin.
Damir Gabdullin: A♣2♦
Mikita Badziakouski: 10♦8♣
Gabdullin had come into the day as the chip leader, but now found himself on the verge of busting.
The 6♥K♣9♦4♥A♦ runout came to his rescue, as he paired his ace on the river to secure the double-up through the chip leader.
