Mikita Badziakouski bet 35,000 on a board of 
from the big blind and Kalidou Sow made it 100,000 to go on the button. Badziakouski called and they saw an 
fall. Badziakouski checked and Sow bet 115,000.
"This would be so brutal to lose to pocket fives," Badziakouski said with a mile after tanking for a bit. He then called a clock on himself.
"I just want to be a hero."
Apparently, Badziakouski couldn't resist the role of hero as he called but couldn't beat 
.
"I knew you were bluffing on the turn," Badziakouski said. "Nice hand."
At another table, Jean Montury went bust.
Konstantin Farber got it in good with 
against the

. On the 
river, Heidorn jammed.
"He's all in?" Yantsevich asked excitedly. "I call, I have nuts."
Heidorn, though, also had the nuts. As the dealer chopped up the pot, Yantsevich wondered aloud about Heidorn's play.
"How do you check-call this?" he asked. "You lose to every ace-high. Unless you are just always donk-betting."
