Badziakouski Not “Getting Away” From Greenwood
Mikita Badziakouski and Sam Greenwood just played the biggest pot of the tournament on Table 2.

As he did at last night’s PokerGO final table, Badziakouski talked his way through the hand. He quickly ran through combos he beat, combos he didn’t, and eventually, he said, “I think I have to put it in.” before adding, “I’m not getting away from you.”
