Tsyhryk Double Leaves Bendik Short
Level 26
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Picking up the action on the J♥7♣5♠ flop, Jan Bendik checked and then faced a bet of 100,000 by Maksym Tsyhryk in the next seat. Bendik check-raised to 875,000, and that sent Tsyhryk into the tank with another 530,000 behind. The floor was called, and within the additional 30 seconds to act, Tsyhryk called off the last of his chips.
Maksym Tsyhryk: A♣K♣ 
Jan Bendik: Q♠J♣
The A♦ turn vaulted Tsyhryk into the lead, and Bendik was visibly upset. He continued to ramble on after the 2♦ river completed the board and put a major dent in his stack.
