Vaskaboinikau Solidifes Chip Lead as he Eliminates Bezhanyan
Level 16
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Aren Bezhanyan raised to 30,000 from under the gun and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau defended in the big blind.
The 3♣J♠A♣ flop saw Vaskaboinikau play in flow. Bezhanyan bet out 30,000 and Vaskaboinikau check-raised to 125,000. Bezhanyan called.
The A♦ turn saw Vaskaboinikau size up to 200,000. Bezhanyan tanked before moving all in for, what looked to be, 350,000. Vaskaboinikau called.
Aren Bezhanyan: A♠10♠ 
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: A♥K♥
Both players turned trips, but Vaskaboinikau's kicker still played on the 7♥ river, sending Bezhanyan to the rail. With this pot, Vaskaboinikau encroached on the two million chip mark, easily solidifying himself as the largest stack in the room.
