Badziakouski Doubles Through Smith

Level 4 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Mikita Badziakouski raised in early position to 8,000 and got called by Orpen Kisacikoglu on the button and Reagen Silber in the small blind.

From the big blind, Dan Smith three-bet to 48,000, and Badziakouski four-bet shoved for 99,000 total. Kisacikoglu and Silber folded, and Smith called.

Mikita Badziakouski: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
Dan Smith: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}

It didn't take long for Badziakouski to improve, as the {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop paired Badziakouski. From there, the {8-Hearts}{6-Clubs} runout didn't help Smith, and both players now sit just over 200,000.
