Cary Katz Bubbles the $50,000 Short Deck Event
Action folded to the cutoff, where Mikita Badziakouski pushed forward enough to cover Cary Katz’ stack of 1,800,000 or so.
Katz peeled a strong hand and paused for a moment. Then he tossed in calling chips.
“I don’t give a f*** about the min-cash,” he said, showing the [AdKd]. Badziakouski, who was trying to apply the ICM pressure, tabled the [Jc9h].
The flop of [Qs7h7h] was safe for Katz, but the [9s] turn and [9d] river changed the outcome of the hand, which could have pushed him into the chip lead.
With the chips going to Badziakouski, the Short Deck event has been paused as Cary Katz exited in 7th place, on the stone bubble.
The remaining players will return on Saturday, April 9, at 1 p.m. local time (6 a.m. ET), to play it out for the title and $756,000 top prize.
