Level 7
: 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Round two of the Mikita Badziakouski vs Elton Tsang battle went to the Belarussian, who made a very good call to double up.
Pre-flop, Badziakouski raised to 15,000 from the small blind and Tsang called from the big blind. On the 
flop Badziakouski bet 11,000 and Tsang set him all-in for a total of 78,000. This sent Badziakouski into the tank and he didn't quite know what to make of Tsang's shove. He spread and stacked his chips a number of times before eventually deciding that he couldn't fold.
Badziakouski: 
Tsang: 
"Nice call," said Tsang when he saw Badziakouski's cards. The 
turn and 
river kept him in front and he doubled.

Poker can be a confidence game so you imagine Elton Tsang's is sky high at the moment having won the Big One for One Drop yesterday.
He and Mikita Badziakouski just clashed in a hand and it was the champion who came out on top. The Belarussian opened to 9,000 from the cutoff and Tsang called on the button. The 
flop was checked through and the 
fell on the turn. Badziakouski bet 9,000, Tsang raised to 40,000 and Badziakouski called. The river was the 
and, after Badziakouski checked, Tsang moved all-in for 110,000. This sent Badziakouski into the tank and he looked very close to calling, but he eventually folded.

Action! The first all-in and call of the tournament just went down and this is how it played out. Tom Marchese raised to 9,000 on the button, Paul Phua shoved for 100,500 from the small blind and, when it folded back to him, Marchese called.
Phua: 
Marchese: 
It was a race and one that the overcards would win as the board came 
.
