Tishkevich Flops the Nuts; Vakis Gets Some Back by Cracking Kings
Action folded to Valentin Anghel in the small blind who moved all in. Stanislav Tishkevich called in the big blind for his last 145,000.
Stanislav Tishkevich: Q?10?
Valentin Anghel: 6?5?
The flop came K?8?9? as Tishkevich hit the nut straight, while Anghel picked up a flush draw. The board ran out Q?Q? and Tishkevich stopped to snap a picture of the board before collecting his double up.
At the same time at another table, Nariman Yaghmai moved all in for 150,000 in the small blind and Georgios Vakis took another shot at taking out a player by calling on the button.
Nariman Yaghmai: K?K?
Georgios Vakis: A?J?
Vakis spiked an ace on the A?2?8? flop as Yaghmai spun away from the table in frustration. He couldn't catch any miracles on the 5? turn or Q? river and was eliminated.
