Mikita Badziakouski Gets His Sweat but Still Eliminated in 3rd ($1,600,000)
Three-handed play is over almost before it got going. Down to just 10 big blinds, Mikita Badziakouski picked up [AcQh] in the big blind. Timothy Adams folded, and small blind (chip leader) Christoph Vogelsang paused, still and silent, for around 20 seconds, before setting his opponent all in with [Jh3s]. Badziakouski snap-called and stood up while the board decided his fate.
The flop: [Js9s3s]. Two pair for Vogelsang. Badziakouski called for a spade: “Just don’t let me be drawing dead… give me a sweat!”
The turn gave him the sweat: [8s]. The river [4c], however, ended the Belarusian top tournament player and partypoker Team Pro’s run at the trophy in 3rd.
