Zabiiakin Gets Value From Cappellesso; Sootla Sends Out Kuznetsov
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Ivan Zabiiakin raised to 24,000 in early position and Nicola Cappellesso called in the big blind.
The flop came 10♣8♠4♥ and Zabiiakin bet 30,000. Cappellesso called and the 9♣ turn was checked through to the Q♥ river.
Zabiiakin then bet 80,000 and Cappellesso snap-called, only for Zabiiakin to show A♣J♣ for a straight to win the pot.
A few hands earlier at this table, Nikita Kuznetsov got his short stack in with 6♣5♣ from the big blind on a board of 8♥7♠6♥J♣8♣, but Ranno Sootla in early position had A♠J♥ for top pair and Kuznetsov, who made the final table of this event last year, had his tournament come to an end short of replicating that run this year.
