In one hand, with blinds at 75,000/150,000, Vlad moved all-in from the small blind for 3,825,000 holding pocket queens. Costigan called with a lesser hand, and the queens held on a board to double Vlad up to 7,800,000 chips.
Later, at blinds 100,000/200,000, Vlad check-raised Costigan on a flop, then moved all-in on the turn for 5,025,000. Costigan tank-folded, allowing Vlad to reach 10,000,000 chips. These hands showcased his ability to apply pressure and capitalize on key spots.
