Piotr Majewski
Piotr Majewski

Piotr Majewski is down to half a starting stack after paying off a chunky river bet and finding the button bettor with {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} on a board of {3-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}. He mucked shaking his head and can't be delighted that the blinds have just gone up to 400/800 when he's now playing 15,400.

Majewski, incidentally, is part of the blogging fraternity, doing so in Polish at tournaments Europwide, and qualified for this one online swapping the pen and paper for the continually riffling stack of chips.

Several members of the press have crossed the line into permanent fixtures at the felt, including journalist and triple crown winner Roland de Wolfe, and Michel Abecassis (who apparently briefly edited Elle magazine). We learn something new every day.
