Vaskaboinikau Doubles Through Daher

Level 17 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Ryan Riess raised to 80,000 on the button and picked up a call by Mikalai Vaskaboinikau in the big blind. The duo checked the {9-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop and Vaskaboinikau bet the {7-Spades} turn for 50,000, Riess called. On the {7-Diamonds} river, Vaskaboinikau now made it 125,000 to go and Riess asked "What do you have buddy?" Within the 30 seconds shot clock, Riess called and Vaskaboinikau shook his head before turning over {Q-Clubs}{10-Spades} for queen-high and a busted flush draw.

Riess raked in the pot with {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts} for ace-queen high and boosted his stack slightly.

The next hand, Albert Daher raised to 140,000 on the button and quickly called the shove of Vaskaboinikau in the small blind.

Mikalai Vaskoinikau: {A-Spades}{6-Spades}
Albert Daher: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}

Both players had suited aces and the Belorussian was the player in need of help. After a board of {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, he indeed got there on the river and tapped the table before quickly apologizing.
