Tomasz Kozub and Volodymyr Kokoulin are back in their seats and action is back underway.
2024 WSOP Europe
Tomasz Kozub raised to 560,000 on the button as Volodymyr Kokoulin gave up the small blind. Hristiyan Banov in the big blind shared a laugh with Kozub before moving all in for 1,390,000, and Kozub snap-called.
Hristiyan Banov: 10♣6♥4♠3♦
Tomasz Kozub: K♦9♠6♠5♦
Any hope Banov had of survival quickly vanished on the K♠K♥J♦ flop as Kozub made trips. Banov was already drawing dead and heading around the table to shake the hands of his two opponents by the time the board ran out 7♦9♣, sealing his elimination in third place.
Kozub and Kokoulin are taking a short break before beginning their heads-up match.
