Level 16 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

It was not long after the departure of Nick Petrangelo before the first paying casualty of the final table occurred.

Mikita Badziakouki should have been dealt the {a-Clubs} in the big blind as his second card but it flipped over after bouncing off his monster chip stack meaning he received another hole card.

Sitting under-the-gun John Juanda moved all-in for his last 180,000 and action folded around to Badziakouski who called quickly.

John Juanda: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Mikita Badziakouski: {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

In a cruel quirk of fate Badziakouski ended up with a better hand and Juanda one less out. Badziakouski’s pocket pair held when the board ran out {3-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades} {8-Clubs} {3-Hearts} and the Juanda’s deep run was over.
