Thorel's Aces Leave Badziakouski Short
Level 14
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
After the players had taken a short break, they returned and the first hand saw Mikita Badziakouski limp in from the cutoff. Jean-Noel Thorel raised to 55,000 and Badziakouski moved all in. Thorel snap-called and premium hands were tabled.
Jean-Noel Thorel: 
Mikita Badziakouski: 
The flop came 
and Badziakouski said "spade is no good," then asked for a jack. His wish was granted with the 
turn and he followed it up with another request: "Nine please." Instead, the 
fell on the river and Thorel doubled up for 428,000 to leave Badziakouski with just six big blinds.
