Damir Gabdullin Eliminated in 6th Place ($140,000)
Level 28
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Mikita Badziakouski raised to 800,000 from the button, and Damir Gabdullin three-bet to 2,300,000 from the small blind. Badziakouski called when the action came back to him.
The dealer fanned the J♠J♣5♣ flop, and Gabdullin jammed for 5,250,000. Badziakouski snap-called, and once again the pair found themselves battling in a huge pot.
Damir Gabdullin: Q♠Q♥
Mikita Badziakouski: A♠A♥
Gabdullin was on the wrong end of another cooler with pocket queens, as this time Badziakouski had woken up with aces.
No miracle two-outer came for the start-of-day chip leader as the board ran out 10♥6♥, and Gabdullin exited the Onyx Club in sixth place.
