Buhaiov Gets Off to a Good Start
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
A few good hands for Nazar Buhaiov saw him elevate his stack into a safer position that what it was when the day began.
First, Buhaiov shoved from the small blind for 615,000 and was called by Manuel Machado in the big blind.
Nazar Buhaiov: J♣10♦ 
Manuel Machado: K♣9♣
Buhaiov needed to connect with the board and left it until the very last moment to do so as he paired his ten on the 5♥8♥8♠2♠10♥ runout.
The next hand, Toby Gibson raised from middle position to 250,000 and Buhaiov shoved for 1,310,000. The blinds folded, and despite the big opening size, Gibson also folded.
