Badziakouski Starts with Plenty of Aggression

Fresh off winning a big pot by shoving into Timofey Kuznetsov, Mikita Badziakouski opened to 2,000 and Yu Liang called in the big blind. Kuznetsov and Rui Cao still talked through the previous hand and Cao said "you don't want to bust too fast, it is quite expensive."

The flop came and Liang check-called a bet worth 1,500 before doing so again for 4,000 on the turn. In the meanwhile, Kuznetsov guessed that Badziakouski might have been bluffing with previously and said "damn, I should have called," with a smile on the face.

The current hand was still going on and Liang then bet the river for 10,000. Badziakouski double-checked his cards, shook his head and folded. "There are so many semi-bluffs out there. Six seven. Sixes with spades," he added to Kuznetsov, and has become the early chip leader despite losing the last pot.
