Badziakouski Showing Power of the Big Stack on the Bubble

Calum Grant

Level 19 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Orpen Kisacikoglu folded 7?7? from under the gun and action continued to fold until Mikita Badziakouski raised to 1,575,000 from the button with Q?4?.

With the money bubble still ongoing, Ben Heath folded A?Q? after using a time chip from the small blind and Santosh Suvarna also folded his big blind for Badziakouski to chip up.

"Those are the ICM handcuffs in full effect," commented PokerStars Ambassador Sam Grafton
