Lingham Falls To Badziakouski

Level 7 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Sergio Aido raised from first position to 20,000 and Vinny Lingham called in early position. In the big blind, Mikita Badziakouski three-bet to 100,000 and Aido called, which saw Lingham move all in for 210,000. After some confusion about how long each player had to make their decision preflop, Badziakouski raised to 330,000 and Lingham folded.

Vinny Lingham: KQ All in
Mikita Badziakouski: AK

The board ran out K74510 and the ace-kicker worked for Badziakouski to take down the pot.
