Voronin Gets Back on Track at Vaskaboinikau's Expense
One of the biggest pots of the day was recalled to PokerNews. Mikalai Vaskaboinikau opened the button to 5,500 and Konstantin Voronin three-bet the small blind to 16,000. Vaskaboinikau then four-bet to 65,000, and Voronin called.
They saw a flop of J♦8♦5x where Voronin led out for 60,000. then Vaskaboinikau shoved his stack of around 250,000 into the middle. Voronin called for slightly less.
Konstantin Voronin: A♦6♦ 
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau; AxKx
Voronin had lost a chunk of his starting stack but had two chances to win it all back and would do so if he could find a six or a diamond on the runout. The Russian player only needed one attempt as the K♦ turn gave him the nut flush, which left Vaskaboinikau drawing dead.
Shortly after, Vaskaboinikau got his last 22,000 in the middle and couldn't spin up a stack, meaning he hit the rail and Voronin had his stack back.
