Good Call by Badziakouski

Maxime Taldir
Maxime Taldir
Level 8 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The action was picked up on a board of Q♣4♠3♣6♥5♦ with 480,000 in the pot. Mikita Badziakouski in early position bet 50,000 but Ramiro Salinas in the cutoff raised to 250,000.

Badziakouski put his head in his hands and leaned back in his chair. After a few seconds, he concluded there was only one option and made the call with 4♦4♣ for a set. Salinas could only show K♠Q♠, sending the pot Badziakouski’s way.

Meanwhile, Ben Heath was sent to the rail by Barak Wisbrod.

Emilien Pitavy opened 24,000 from the button and Nick Petrangelo defended from the big blind.

Both players checked the 3♥7♥4♦ flop but Petrangelo led out for 52,000 on the 6♦ turn. Pitavy called.

On the K♠ river, Petrangelo bet enough to put Pitavy all in. With approximately 175,000 behind, the Frenchman went into the tank and called with A♥K♣ for top pair. Petrangelo flipped over A♠5♣ for a straight and Pitavy was eliminated.

Dejan Kaladjurdjevic moved all in for his remaining 1,000 chip from early position and Sergio Aido limped from the small blind Galen Hall checked the big blind and the players saw a 3♠8♠7♣ flop.

Action was checked to the A♠ turn and Aido check-called a 10,000 bet by Hall to see the 5♣ complete the board. Kaladjurdjevic showed his 7♥6♠ for a pair of sevens which was enough to take the pot as Hall turned over K♥6♦ and Aido mucked.

Kaladjurdjevic made it back up to 13,000 after the hand and folded from under the gun meaning he was going to be forced all in from the big blind, blind.

Aido raised 24,000 from the cutoff and Kristen Foxen called from the small blind. With Kaladjurdjevic all in from the big blind the players went three-ways to the 8♦J♥A♥ flop. Kaladjurdjevic was playing for a 37,000 pot and the side pot stood at 24,000.

Both checked to the J♠ turn and Foxen check-called a 32,000 bet by Aido. A 9♦ completed the board and Foxen folded after Aido asked for 75,000. Aido turned over Q♠10♦ for the straight as Kaladjurdjevic flashed his Kx5x before standing from the table and leaving the tournament area having just hit the rail.

With around 195,000 in the pot, Artur Martirosian fired a bet of 115,000 on the A♠2♠2♦10♦ turn from the big blind. Sam Soverel called in the hijack, after which the 8♠ river completed the board.

Martirosian wasted little time in moving his remaining 295,000 over the line, only to be snapped off by Soverel. Martirosian could only show a bluff with 5♥4♥, and he was eliminated as soon as Soverel showed 10♥10♣ for a full house.

Over at another table, Rick Salomon lost his last chips about 15 minutes after buying into the event.

Preflop, Matthias Eibinger got his stack of roughly 500,000 in from the cutoff against Ren Lin on the button, being the player at risk.

Ren Lin: A♥K♥

Lin paired up on the K♣2♣3♦ flop, and Eibinger could not catch up on the remainder of the 5♠7♠ runout.

Eibinger saw Lin rake in his entire stack and said his goodbyes, while Aleksejs Ponakovs also departed from an adjacent table. Shortly after, Sergio Aido joined as the latest entry.

Daniel Rezaei opened to 20,000 from the hijack and Samuel Mullur called from the cutoff. Action folded to John Kincaid who three-bet to 100,000 from the big blind and Rezaei four-bet to 215,000. Kincaid moved all in, putting his remaining stack of approximately 450,000 at risk and Rezaei called.

John Kincaid: A♣K♥All in
Daniel Rezaei: A♠A♦

The 2♣J♥5♦ flop didn't give Kincaid much to work with, and the 10♣ turn and 4♣ river saw to his swift elimination.

Moments after the restart, Cary Katz in the big blind and Alex Foxen in the hijack found themselves on a board of K♦7♦7♠4♠6♣ with 600,000 in the pot.

Catz bet 250,000 and Foxen went into the tank. "You have aces, Cary?" Foxen asked. Katz answered that he didn't and after a few more seconds, Foxen made the call with K♣J♥ for two pair. Katz only had A♠4♥ and lost most of his stack.

Down to 65,000, he moved all in in the next hand and was called by Barak Wisbrod who opened from under the gun.

Cary Katz: A♠6♥ All in
Barak Wisbrod: J♠J♥

Wisbrod's jacks held on 4♠2♥K♥10♦K♠ and Katz was eliminated.
