Plus EV-dakov
Nikolay Evdakov has had a rather poor start to the day.
He returned to a roughly 40,000 stack an hour ago, but it was at around 17,000 when we found him just now. Michael Schwartz had raised to 1,400 under the gun and Karim Jomeen had called in the cutoff before Evdakov called too from the small blind.
We were briefly distracted at this point as Andrew Lichtenberger was going all in on the other table (more on that in a moment), but when we returned the flop read and the size of the pot suggested that Evdakov had checked and then raised all in to a bet. Whatever happened, the other two players both folded, and Evdakov made a mini-recovery to a still relatively short 20,000.
