Puertas Doubles via Miadzel; Chernak Finishes Miadzel Off
Level 22
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Jose Puertas was raking in a double-up of his 134,000 stack, after his A♦K♥ held against Stanislaw Miadzel's K♠J♠ on the K♣Q♦5♣8♠2♥ runout.
Miadzel was left with 30,000, and he shipped that into the middle from under the gun in the next hand, and Aliaksei Chernak rejammed from the button, forcing out all other opponents.
Stanislaw Miadzel: 3♦3♣ 
Aliaksei Chernak: A♦8♥
It was a fair fight, but the eight was in the window on the 8♠6♦6♣ flop, and Miadzel could not find a two-outer on the 5♠ turn or 9♥ river.
