"Mikita Power"

The action was picked up in a three-way pot with just over 10,000 in the middle on a flop showing A♠Q♦7♠. Chino Rheem bet out 4,000 from under the gun and Qiang Xu called next to act. Mikita Badziakouski put in a raise to 100,000 on the button and both Rheem and Xu quickly let it go.

"Mikita power!" said Rheem as the pot was shipped to Badziakouski.

Meanwhile on another table, Hyun Kim and Wesley Fei were eliminated in the first few hands of play.
