Greenwood Gets Paid, Badziakouski Busts
Big hands played out on both tables early in Level 10.
First, three players saw a [8d7c6s] flop on Table 2 before Cary Katz bet 32,000 from the button.
Chin Wei Lim, who was in the big blind, check-called and Sam Greenwood did the same from the hijack.
The [Qd] drew three checks on the turn and Lim checked again after the [Td] completed the board.
Greenwood took close to his entire time bank before betting 125,000 and after Katz quickly folded, Lim took a quick tank of his own.
Eventually, he called – only to see Greenwood table [Jc9d]. The straight was good and almost immediately after that hand concluded, Mikita Badziakouski was eliminated.
The Belarusian was put all-in by Robert Flink on the river of [AhQh7c6dQs]. Badziakouski called for his final 105,000 and his [As9h] was no good, as Flink tabled [9h8d] for a straight.
Flink and Greenwood are now the only players over 1,000,000, with Cary Katz rounding out the British Poker Open Short Deck Big Three.
