Lee Eliminates Badziakouski

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Mikita Badziakouski
Mikita Badziakouski

Hon Cheong Lee shoved in the small blind and Mikita Badziakouski called it off for about 280,000 in the big.

Lee: {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Badziakouski: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

The high roller from Belarus needed to pair and did so on the {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop, but Lee stayed best with aces. Badziakouski called for a jack but got only the {6-Hearts} on the turn and the {3-Spades} river missed him as well.

Ben Yosef Eliminated Before Break

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Assaf Ben Yosef shoved 133,000 in the cutoff and Pierre Calamusa put him at risk from the button.

Ben Yosef: {k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Calamusa: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

It was a bad spot for Ben Yosef and he found no salvation on the {3-Hearts}{4-Spades}{10-Spades}{a-Spades}{2-Hearts} board, which left him dead on fourth.

Mitchell Busts O'Rourke

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

James Mitchell opened under the gun and big blind Gavin O'Rourke called. O'Rourke check-raised all in for about 180,000 on {4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Mitchell called.

James Mitchell: {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Gavin O'Rourke: {6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

The {4-Clubs} on the turn and {Q-Spades} on the river weren't cards O'Rourke was in need of and he exited the tournament area.

Strategy Lessons

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Robert Heidorn was in the small blind and check-called 100,000 from cutoff Valery Yantsevich on a board of {3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{10-Clubs}. On the {j-Spades} river, Heidorn jammed.

"He's all in?" Yantsevich asked excitedly. "I call, I have nuts."

Heidorn, though, also had the nuts. As the dealer chopped up the pot, Yantsevich wondered aloud about Heidorn's play.

"How do you check-call this?" he asked. "You lose to every ace-high. Unless you are just always donk-betting."
