Sam Greenwood Busted on the Bubble by Badziakouski
Sam Greenwood made it 40,000 with a raise while holding [AsKs] and Mikita Badziakouski came along for the ride with [9c8c].
No seatbelts! The flop was an incredible [5hJcQc], making Badziakouski a favorite to win the hand but keeping Greenwood ahead. Sam Greenwood moved all-in for 240,000, an amazing move, putting Badziakouski into deep thought.
After much consideration, Badziakouski, who would go past Phil Ivey in tournament winnings if he could finish in second place or better here… called, slamming down a chip to symbolise his risk to get the reward of making the money.
The turn card was the [7c], locking up the hand, the irrelevant [Qs] river saw Sam Greenwood skittled on the bubble.
Not only does that mean Greenwood cannot win the hand or title here in Event #9, but it confirms the American Sam Soverel will be the inaugural winner of the British Poker Open Championship, with two wins, and three other podium-place finishes, it’s outstanding for anyone to win it with an event – the biggest event – to spare. Phenomenal.
