Leow Calls Badziakouski’s Jam with Bottom Pair on Turn, Is Briefly Ahead…
Ivan Leow raised to 35,000 when it folded to him on the button with [8c5c], making the call when Mikita Badziakouski three-bet to 125,000 with [Asqs]. On the [5sKcTd] flop, Badziakouski led for 75,000 with his gutshot draw and Leow made the call with a pair of fives. The turn brought the [7s] and an all in move from Badziakouski. This bet was for 375,000, enough to give Leow pause, but in the end he threw in a single call-signifying chip and Badziakouski’s tournament life was on the line.
Overs, spades, jacks: Badziakouski had a good few outs remaining, and the [Ks] was one of them. He doubles back into contention.
