Vaskaboinikau Gets There on the River
Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Steve O'Dwyer limped in from the small blind and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau checked his option.
The flop came J?4?6? and O'Dwyer led out for 40,000. Vaskaboinikau then moved all in for 202,000 and O'Dwyer called.
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: 7?5?
Steve O'Dwyer: 7?6?
O'Dwyer was ahead with his pair of sixes, while Vaskaboinikau was on a straight draw. The K? turn left Vaskaboinikau down to his last card to avoid being eliminated on the bubble. The river came the 3? and Vaskaboinikau completed his straight to double up, leaving O'Dwyer as a short stack.
