Badziakouski Goes for the Double Check-Raise; Suvarna Doubles Through Mateos

Adrian Mateos opened to 21,000 from the hijack, and Mikita Badziakouski called from the big blind. Badziakouski check-raised to 36,000 on the A♦J♦J♠ flop after Mateos continued for 12,000. The latter called.

On the 3♣ turn, Badziakouski check-raised for a second time, making it 135,000 to go. Mateos, who had fired for 33,000, called again.

Badziakouski then put in a tower of chips on the 4♠ river, and Mateos made the snap fold.

On the following hand, Mateos opened to 21,000, and Santhosh Suvarna moved all in for 72,000 from two seats over. Action folded back to Mateos, who called.

Santhosh Suvarna: K♥9♠
Adrian Mateos: K♦Q♣

Suvarna was dominated but ended up with the winner after making a straight on the 7♦6♥5♣8♠5♦ runout.

As the hand played out, Jean-Noel Thorel was eliminated by Christoph Vogelsang on an adjacent table.
