Mikita Badziakouski
Mikita Badziakouski

Over at Table 2, there was already a sizable pot brewing between partypoker Pro's Timofey Kuznetsov and Mikita Badziakouski. The board read {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and Kuznetsov, in the hijack, checked to Badziakouski on the button. Badziakouski bet 245,000 and Kuznetzov came along with a call.

The river was the {4-Clubs} and Kuznetsov checked. Badziakouski bet 601,000 — all of his remaining stack save a single T-1,000 chip — and Kuznetsov called after about fifteen seconds.

"Ace-king," Badziakouski announced as he showed {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}. Kuznetsov mucked and slipped to half the starting stack in the process.

Perkins Eliminates Tsang in Setup

Level 9 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Elton Tsang
Elton Tsang

Elton Tsang raised to 36,000 from under the gun, Bill Perkins called from the small blind, and Bobby Baldwin called from the big blind. The flop was {10-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Perkins bet 25,000. Baldwin raised to 125,000 and Tsang cold-called, leaving himself with just 165,000 behind.

Perkins shoved all in for 503,000 and Baldwin called after some thought. Tsang quickly put the extra chips in as well to create a three-way all-in situation.

Elton Tsang: {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}
Bill Perkins: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Bobby Baldwin: {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}

It was a brutal cooler for Tsang, who could only survive with the case trey. Baldwin was nearly drawing dead as well for the side pot, and Perkins officially won the hand after the {q-Diamonds} turn and {7-Clubs} river. Baldwin was left with 412,000 while Tsang was eliminated.
