Vaskaboinikau Solidifes Chip Lead as he Eliminates Bezhanyan
Level 16
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Aren Bezhanyan raised to 30,000 from under the gun and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau defended in the big blind.
The 3?J?A? flop saw Vaskaboinikau play in flow. Bezhanyan bet out 30,000 and Vaskaboinikau check-raised to 125,000. Bezhanyan called.
The A? turn saw Vaskaboinikau size up to 200,000. Bezhanyan tanked before moving all in for, what looked to be, 350,000. Vaskaboinikau called.
Aren Bezhanyan: A?10? 
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: A?K?
Both players turned trips, but Vaskaboinikau's kicker still played on the 7? river, sending Bezhanyan to the rail. With this pot, Vaskaboinikau encroached on the two million chip mark, easily solidifying himself as the largest stack in the room.
