Mark Babekov Busts Another Two; Nears 2 Million

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Franklin Connell open-shoved for 168,000 and got a call from Mark Babekov. A third player moved all in over the top for a total of just over 180,000 and the math made for a call from Babekov.

Connell with {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} faced off against the {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} of Babekov and the other player’s {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}.

The flop was {5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{a-Spades}.

A set of nines for Connell shot him into the lead.

The turn card was the {a-Spades} which secured Connell a full house.

The river, however, was the {q-Spades} to give Babekov boat over boat to secure an unlikely double elimination and see another big pot shipped his way as he closes in on 2 million in chips.

Is there no stopping this man?
