Aaron Van Blarcum Leaves Mikita Badziakouski Short
Mikita Badziakouski opened to 70,000 and Aaron Van Blarcum was the lone caller to see the [qsts9s] flop. Badziakouski tapped the table to Blarcum who quickly bet 110,000.
Badziakouski thought for a brief moment before he elected to check-shove for more than enough to cover Blarcum who instantly went into the tank.
After using two time extension cards, Blarcum called for his tournament life and put in his 567,000 in chips.
Aaron Van Blarcum: [9d9c]
Mikita Badziakouski: [adjs]
Statistically, it was a flip but the odds changed drastically when the [9h] peeled off on the turn, landing quads for Blarcum. Badziakouski was still drawing live to a straight flush but the [qd] was not of any help and Blarcum took down the pot for a complete double through Badziakouski.
