Deadman Eliminated by Urbanovich

Christian Zetzsche

Level 21 : 100,000/200,000, 25,000 ante

Simon Deadman lost half his stack when Dominykas Mikolaitis forced a fold on an ace-high river that featured a four-card straight.

Shortly after, Mikolaitis opened to 420,000 in late position and Deadman jammed the hijack for 4,795,359. Dzmitry Urbanovich reshoved for more than 14.5 million in the cutoff and Mikolaitis folded.

Simon Deadman:
Dzmitry Urbanovich:

The case queen on the flop left Deadman in dire shape as he needed running aces or clubs to survive. It was all over on the turn and the river was too little too late for the Brit.

Bicknell moved up to more than 5 million but she then clashed with Sosia Jiang. The New Zealander defended the big blind to see a flop of and check-raised to 2,080,000. Bicknell jammed for 5.5 million and Jiang called.

Kristen Bicknell:

The turn gave Jiang straight outs and she indeed got there on the river to eliminate Bicknell in cruel fashion.
