Badziakouski Rivers Flush to Take the Lead
Mikita Badziakouski flopped second pair with a flush draw on a flop of [Kh5h9s] with [Qh9h] and he checked along with Christoph Vogelang who held [Kd6s].
The turn card of [6d] saw a bet, however, with Badziakouski making it 100,000. Not a problem for Vogelsang, who popped it to 310,000 with two pair and the partpyoker pro had a big decision to make. He called, and a pot of 745,000 was up for grabs in the very first hand of heads-up play.
The river [8h] completed the board in the most dramatic of fashions, with Badziakouski rivering the flush.
Vogelsang bet 190,000, prompting Mikita Badziakouski to move all-in. Vogelsang asked for a count, and when he got it, he called for 435,000 more and shipped it across to Badziakouski.
A stunning opening hand.
