Mikita Badziakouski counted out his stack in the small blind and then decided to raise to 16,500,000 to leave himself behind with only a bit. Addamo shoved from the big blind and Badziakouski threw in his last chips for the call.

Mikita Badziakouski: {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Michael Addamo: {A-Diamonds}{3-Spades}

The flop came {6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} for Addamo to flop trip treys.

The turn was the {8-Hearts} which meant Badziakouski was drawing dead. The river completed the board with the {j-Clubs} as a formality as Badziakouski was eliminated in fourth place for €266,767.

All in all, it hasn't been too bad here in Rozvadov for Badziakouski as he won the €25,000 No-Limit Hold'em - King's Short Deck Championship for €213,750 only a few days ago.

Two In a Row for Badziakouski

Level 28 : 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Mikita Badziakouski looked down at {a-Spades}{3-Spades} in the small blind and made it 16,000,000, nearly his entire stack. Michael Addamo quickly mucked his rags and Badziakouski picked up the pot.

In the next hand, Badziakouski raised to only 2,500,000 on the button with {5-Spades}{5-Clubs} and both of the blinds gave it some thought but elected to give up their hands.

Level 28 : 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

The action folded to Michael Addamo in the small blind who shipped all in for 25,800,000. Benjamin Pollak asked for a count from the big blind and made the call to put Addamo at risk.

Michael Addamo: {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Benjamin Pollak: {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

Adammo held two live cards and the flop of {K-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} hit him in every way possible. The {6-Spades} on the turn left Pollak drawing dead to the {3-Spades} on the river. Addamo scooped a massive pot of over 50,000,000 to jump into the chip lead.

Michael Addamo found {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} in the under-the-gun position and raised to 2,000,000. Benjamin Pollak picked up {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts} on the button and decided to three-bet to 7,500,000. Addamo asked how much Pollak was playing and then made the call.

The flop came {q-Spades}{a-Clubs}{a-Hearts} with the queen in the window to provide Pollak with the full house. Addamo checked and Pollak continued with a bet of 4,500,000. Addamo contemplated his options and tank-folded.

Addamo Gets Thin Value

Level 27 : 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Michael Addamo just limped in on the button with {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} and Christian Rudolph checked the big blind with {k-Spades}{4-Clubs}. The flop fell {10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and both players checked to the {6-Clubs} on the turn.

Rudolph checked again and Addamo bet 1,000,000 with just ace-high. Rudolph called with a weaker king-high and the {10-Hearts} on the river double-paired the board. Rudolph checked again and Addamo went for value with a bet of 2,000,000. Sure enough, Rudolph paid him off and Addamo scooped the pot.
