Badziakousi Spikes the River For a Massive Double Off Lynskey
Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Mikita Badziakouski raised to 40,000 under the gun and Alex Lynskey called in the cutoff, as did big blind Philip Sternheimer.
Action checked to Lynskey on the Q♦9♦7♣ flop and he bet 50,000. Only Badziakouski called.
Lynskey bet another 250,000 on the 10♣ turn, but this time Badziakouski moved all in for 825,000. Lynskey called with 9♠9♥ for a set, while Badziakouski showed Q♣J♣ for top pair to go with flush and straight draws.
The K♠ fell on the river to give Badziakouski a straight as he took down the pot worth nearly 2,000,000 to move into contention for the tournament chip lead.
