John Junada Eliminated in 6th Place (HK$645,000)
Level 16
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
It was not long after the departure of Nick Petrangelo before the first paying casualty of the final table occurred.
Mikita Badziakouki should have been dealt the in the big blind as his second card but it flipped over after bouncing off his monster chip stack meaning he received another hole card.
Sitting under-the-gun John Juanda moved all-in for his last 180,000 and action folded around to Badziakouski who called quickly.
John Juanda:
Mikita Badziakouski:
In a cruel quirk of fate Badziakouski ended up with a better hand and Juanda one less out. Badziakouski’s pocket pair held when the board ran out and the Juanda’s deep run was over.
