Militsa Makes Way

AaronMcBride

Level 18 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Aliaksei Militsa started the day with 25 big blinds and has been unable to spin it into a big stack. The player from Belarus found himself down to just 300,000 and all in with ace-king against his opponent's ace-seven. Militsa was able to hold on this occasion, but in the very next hand, and up against the same opponent the outcome was different.

Militsa was dealt ace-ten and up against pocket tens. There was to be no miracle board for Militsa and he exited the tournament early on Day 3, and short of the money spots.
