Vladislav Bakalov Eliminated

As Vladislav Bakalov pushed all in preflop from UTG, big blind Richard Pols asked how he was feeling. "Not sure, but I feel better about my hand now you've asked," he replied, at which point, Bessi Bessy made a deep reach and pushed in his remaining stack. "All in, with a little more," he confirmed.

After everyone folded, Bakalov inquired as to his hand. "I have the snowmen," answered Bessy as he flipped {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. "Sigh, another coinflip," complained Bakalov tabling {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, although I feel he should have been relieved to be in a 50-50 situation.

Nevertheless, the {8-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{A-Hearts} board was emphatic, Bessy picking up the pot with a decisive full house. "Take a photo of this," he requested, sticking his two cards on his forehead with the aid of nothing but beads of sweat. "This is my internet name, wherever I play."
