Kotyk Sends Vardai to the Rail
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Ferenc Vardai raised to 2,500 from early position with Ian Gascoigne making the call from the next seat. Ihor Kotyk then squeezed to 9,000 and Vardai four-bet shoved for roughly 45,000. Gascoigne got out the way before Kotyk snap-called to put Vardai at risk.
Ferenc Vardai: A♠Q♠ 
Ihor Kotyk: K♣K♥
Vardai needed to find an ace or some spades to double up. However, the board ran out 7♣7♦10♥6♦5♥ and Kotyk's kings sent Vardai home.
