Dudakov Picks Off McTaggart on the River For Another Knockout

Level 9
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

In a blind versus blind battle, Paul McTaggart led out for 1,000 on the Q?9?A? flop and Dmitri Dudakov called.
McTaggart checked to Dudakov on the 3? turn, and Dudakov bet 3,600. McTaggart called and the 8? fell on the river.
Dudakov then bet 7,500, but this time McTaggart came back with an all-in shove for 21,100. Dudakov spent a few minutes in the tank before calling as McTaggart showed 9?8? for two pair. Dudakov turned over Q?3? for queens and threes to secure the pot and send McTaggart to the rail.
"Congratulations on winning Day 1," Jack Hardcastle told Dudakov while observing the table.
