Badziakouski Doubles Through Hajiyev

Mikita Badziakouski bubbled this event last year and now he was the shortest stack in the room. With less than 90,000 he only had 15 big blinds left before the hand started but he found the double up he was looking for.

It was Ramin Hajiyev who opened to 15,000. Badziakouski waited for the completion of the hand on the other table before he raised to 60,000, leaving him with just 29,500 behind.

It was folded around back to Hajiyev, although Patrick Leonard took his time before mucking. Hajiyev quickly moved all in and Badziakouski called.

He was in great shape to double up and he was even more favourite to win the hand, after the flop. The turn gave Hajiyev some flush outs and possibilities to a chop, but the on the river didn't change everything.
