BATB Event #14 ($1,500 NLH Championship): Yaroslav Nakonechnvy Eliminates Two, Climbs The Leaderboard

2018 Battles At The Beach
Event #14 | $1,500 NLH Championship ($500,000 GTD)

Level 14 (Blinds 1,500/3,000/500) | Structure
Total Entries: 433
Players Remaining: 92


Yaroslav Nakonechnvy (Las Vegas, NV) got a great flop while holding his pocket aces, one which allowed for his opponent to shove over his flop bet.

As we approached Table 11, Idris Ambraisse would have his hood covering his head, all-in for his remaining 12,200.  The original three-bet that was made (by Yaroslav Nakonechnvy) was more than Idris's remaining chips, so after Philip Consolo and Josias Santos called, there would be a side pot in play as well.  The dealer fanned out a flop of 10♠ 10 10, with Santos checking to Yaroslav, who put forward a bet of 50,000.  Consolo went into the tank for close to two minutes, before announcing himself all-in (for just over 140,000), causing Santos to release his hand.  Yaroslav quickly made the call, and after Consolo turned over Q♠ Q♣, he would follow by tabling A♠ A♣.  Idris was drawing thin (holding A K), with the other two players involved eagerly awaiting the turn and river.

There would be no miracle for Consolo, as the turn brought the 4♠, followed by the 5♣ on the river.  Philip's chips would be counted down, but Yaroslav had him covered, eliminating Consolo (and Idris) from play.  Nakonechnvy now sits 375,000, and is one of the top ten stacks in the field.

Yaroslav Nakonechnvy - 375,000 (125bb)
