Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau raised to 5,000 from under the gun, Kyle Cheong called on the button and Gha Iakobishvili called in the big blind.
The flop came 7?3?8?. Action checked to Cheong, who made it 5,000 to go. Iakobishvili called and so did Vaskaboinikau.
The turn was the 3?. Iakobishvili led out for 22,500, Cheong called and Vaskaboinikau folded.
The river came the A?. Iakobishvili pushed all in and Cheong made the call. Iakobishvili showed 7?4? for two pair with his seven and the threes on board. Cheong tabled A?5?. He'd missed his flush draw but paired his ace on the river to win the pot.
Iakobishvili was eliminated from the tournament.
