Vaskaboinikau Flies Out in Three Hands

The first hand after the redraw, Mikalai Vaskaboinikau raised to 5,000 from the cutoff and Juan Pardo called from the big blind. The pair then checked the J♥3♥Q♠ flop before Vaskaboinikau made a 3,000 bet on the A♠ turn, which Pardo check-called. The 9♣ river was then checked through again and Pardo showed Q♣7♠ for the winner.

Next, Vaskaboinikau made the same raise to 5,000 chips from under the gun and this time it was cutoff Kayhan Mokri that made the call. Vaskaboinikau then checked on the Q♦6♥8♥ flop and quickly folded once Mokri made a bet of 5,000.

In the third hand, Vaskaboinikau defended his big blind when Kayhan Mokri had made it 5,000 to go from under the gun. Vaskaboinikau check-raised Mokri's 4,000 bet to 12,000 and Mokri made the call. Vaskaboinikau then check-called Mokri's 10,500 bet on the K♥ turn and did so too when Mokri put him all in for 69,000 on the K♥ river.

Mokri showed 3♥3♦ for a flopped set and Vaskaboinikau's cards flew into the muck, as he was quickly eliminated from the tournament.
