Lee Eliminates Badziakouski

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Mikita Badziakouski
Mikita Badziakouski

Hon Cheong Lee shoved in the small blind and Mikita Badziakouski called it off for about 280,000 in the big.

Lee: {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Badziakouski: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

The high roller from Belarus needed to pair and did so on the {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop, but Lee stayed best with aces. Badziakouski called for a jack but got only the {6-Hearts} on the turn and the {3-Spades} river missed him as well.

Ben Yosef Eliminated Before Break

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Assaf Ben Yosef shoved 133,000 in the cutoff and Pierre Calamusa put him at risk from the button.

Ben Yosef: {k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Calamusa: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

It was a bad spot for Ben Yosef and he found no salvation on the {3-Hearts}{4-Spades}{10-Spades}{a-Spades}{2-Hearts} board, which left him dead on fourth.

Mitchell Busts O'Rourke

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

James Mitchell opened under the gun and big blind Gavin O'Rourke called. O'Rourke check-raised all in for about 180,000 on {4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Mitchell called.

James Mitchell: {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Gavin O'Rourke: {6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

The {4-Clubs} on the turn and {Q-Spades} on the river weren't cards O'Rourke was in need of and he exited the tournament area.

O'Rourke Doubles Through Foxen

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Gavin O'Rourke was on the button and all in for 128,000 when we got to his table, and Alex Foxen had put him at risk from the cutoff.

Foxen: {k-Spades}{6-Spades}
O'Rourke: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}

Foxen had the slight equity edge but the {j-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} board favored O'Rourke.

Strategy Lessons

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Robert Heidorn was in the small blind and check-called 100,000 from cutoff Valery Yantsevich on a board of {3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{10-Clubs}. On the {j-Spades} river, Heidorn jammed.

"He's all in?" Yantsevich asked excitedly. "I call, I have nuts."

Heidorn, though, also had the nuts. As the dealer chopped up the pot, Yantsevich wondered aloud about Heidorn's play.

"How do you check-call this?" he asked. "You lose to every ace-high. Unless you are just always donk-betting."

Farber Busts With Kings to Ace-King

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Konstantin Farber got it in good with {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} against the {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} of Hon Cheong Lee. Unfortunately for Farber, though, the board ran out {A-Clubs}{8-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and that was the end of it for him. 34 players remain.
