Heung Fades Buhaiov to Double
Level 21
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Tomas Jozonis opened the cutoff to 80,000 before Nazar Buhaiov used two time extension to call on the button. In the big blind, Wayne Heung jammed for 560,000. Jozonis got out of the way before Buhaiov quickly called.
Wayne Heung: 8♠8♥ 
Nazar Buhaiov: A♦8♦
Heung was in good shape to find the double but the Q♦7♦2♣ flop brought a sweat as Buhaiov picked up a flush draw. However, the board ran out K♣4♥ and Heung held to win a big one early in the day.
