Bujtas Hits the Rail as Aerts' Heater Continues

Tyler Foran

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Pieter Aerts opened 40,000 in the cutoff and Laszlo Bujtas shoved for 360,000 in the small blind. The big blind folded, and Aerts made the call quickly.

Laszlo Bujtas: A♥J♣
Pieter Aerts: 6♥6♠

It was a race but the 9♣6♣3♦ put Aerts way ahead with a set of sixes. The 8♣ turn gave Bujtas some hope though with a flush draw, but the 3♥ river was no help and Aerts improved to a full house.

Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Laszlo Bujtas shoved his last 75,000 under the gun and the action folded to Mikalai Vaskaboinikau in the cutoff who jammed the rest of his stack across the line, forcing out the players behind him.

Laszli Bujtas: A♠J♣
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: J♥10♥

Bujtas had Vaskaboinikau dominated and the Q♠5♣4♣3♦4♠ runout meant his ace-high was good for the double.

Vaskaboinikau had 53,000 remaining at the end of the hand and was seen walking out of the tournament shortly after.
