Adams Bests Uskov, Yotsushika Over a Million and Badziakouski Eliminated

Level 13 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Mikita Badziakouski
Mikita Badziakouski

Kazuhiko Yotsushika appears to be the first player over a million, after shoving a {2-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Spades} in a three-bet pot, which elicited a quick fold from Sergio Aido.

Meanwhile, Timothy Adams had checked a {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop to Alexander Uskov who had bet 17,000. Adams check-raised to 67,000 and Uskov called.

Adams bet 135,000 on the {3-Spades} turn and Uskov called. The river was the {3-Clubs}. Adams bet 305,000 leaving 1,000 behind and Uskov folded.

On the very next hand Mikita Badziakouski got his remaining chips in with {9-Hearts}{10-Hearts} on a {j-Spades}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop against Chan Wai Leong. Leong held {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts} and held on the {j-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} runout and Badziakouski was eliminated.
