Vaskaboinikau Burns Through Another Bullet

Nível 8 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Mikalai Vaskaboinikau made a raise to 6,000 from the cutoff before Juan Pardo made a three-bet to 20,000 from the small blind. Vaskaboinikau did not think long before jamming his remaining 64,000 chips and Pardo snap called.

Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: J♠9♥
Juan Pardo: K♠K♣

Vaskaboinikau went for a move but found the wrong timing. The Q♣10♠6♣ flop brought some hope for him in the way of an open-ended straight draw, but the 4♣ turn took away some of his outs as Pardo now had a flush draw. The 5♣ river completed Pardo's flush and Vaskaboinikau sought the exit of the tournament room for the second time in quick succesion.

Nível 7 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Mikalai Vaskaboinikau limped from the small blind, then called after Adrian Mateos raised to 10,000 in the big blind.

On 3♦8♣Q♦, Mateos bet 11,000 and was called once again. But on the turn 5♦, Vaskaboinikau took the lead and bet 8,500. Mateos didn't back down and called.

The 6♥ came on the river, and Vaskaboinikau asked for 17,000 chips. Mateos went into the tank for a few seconds, and called.

Vaskaboinikau didn't really want to show his K♦4♣, but he had to do it so Mateos could reveal A♠K♠ to take the pot.

Vaskaboinikau Flies Out in Three Hands

Nível 7 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The first hand after the redraw, Mikalai Vaskaboinikau raised to 5,000 from the cutoff and Juan Pardo called from the big blind. The pair then checked the J♥3♥Q♠ flop before Vaskaboinikau made a 3,000 bet on the A♠ turn, which Pardo check-called. The 9♣ river was then checked through again and Pardo showed Q♣7♠ for the winner.

Next, Vaskaboinikau made the same raise to 5,000 chips from under the gun and this time it was cutoff Kayhan Mokri that made the call. Vaskaboinikau then checked on the Q♦6♥8♥ flop and quickly folded once Mokri made a bet of 5,000.

In the third hand, Vaskaboinikau defended his big blind when Kayhan Mokri had made it 5,000 to go from under the gun. Vaskaboinikau check-raised Mokri's 4,000 bet to 12,000 and Mokri made the call. Vaskaboinikau then check-called Mokri's 10,500 bet on the K♥ turn and did so too when Mokri put him all in for 69,000 on the K♥ river.

Mokri showed 3♥3♦ for a flopped set and Vaskaboinikau's cards flew into the muck, as he was quickly eliminated from the tournament.
