Mikita Badziakouski

Aaron van Blarcum made it 50,000 in the cutoff and Mikita Badziakouski defended his big blind with a call.

A flop of {2-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{a-Spades} hit the felt and Badziakouski checked. Van Blarcum moved all in for an effective 166,000 and Badziakouski called off.

Van Blarcum turned up {q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and he was ahead of Badziakouski who had an inferior kicker to his nine with {9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}.

The {4-Hearts} turn and {7-Spades} river didn't help Badziakouski who left the tournament in 12th place.
