Badziakouski Bags a Double-Up
Level 11
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Mikita Badziakouski raised to 20,000 chips from under the gun and the action folded to Paulius Plausinaitis in the big blind, who defended.
The flop of 8?7?3? saw Plausinaitis check to Badziakouski, who continued with a bet of 30,000. Plausinaitis then put Badziakouski all-in by putting a stack of T-25,000 chips in the middle and Badziakouski made the call for his stack of 162,000.
Mikita Badziakouski: 10?9?
Paulius Plausinaitis: A?K?
Plausinaitis still had the best hand, but Badziakouski had a plethora of outs to choose from. One of them came on the 9? turn, and the Q? river did not improve Plausinaitis. Badziakouski doubled up and surpassed Plausinaitis on the leaderboard in the process.
