Vaskaboinikau Wins Two in a Row
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau raised to 6,000 from under the gun and Jean-Noel Thorel defended his big blind.
The flop came 8?6?K? and Vaskaboinikau continued for 8,000. Thorel called to see the 4? turn, where Vaskaboinikau bet another 33,000. Thorel this time threw his cards away.
The next hand, Vaskaboinikau was in the big blind and called a 6,000 raise by Alejandro Lococo, as did Thorel in the small blind. All three players checked the 6?10?7? flop.
The turn came the 8? and Vaskaboinikau bet 6,000. Both opponents called to the K? river, where Vaskaboinikau bet another 40,000. Lococo went into the tank before calling, while Thorel got out of the way.
Vaskaboinikau turned over J?9? for a straight and Lococo flashed the A? before mucking.
Timothy Adams just reentered the tournament and rejoined the table. Patrik Antonius also recently joined the field.
