Markushevski Doubles Through Kamar

Vadzim Markushevski
Vadzim Markushevski

We have just been told that Vadzim Markushevski has doubled up through Fady Kamar. We believe the action was on the turn on a board of {9-} {6-} {2-} {K-} (two diamonds). Kamar check-raised, Markushevski moved all-in and Kamar called. Markushevski was holding {9-} {9-} for a set and Kamar was holding {K-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} for top pair with the flush draw. The diamonds stayed away and Markushevksi had doubled up.

Jason Wheeler Eliminated in 18th Place (€40,000)

Jason Wheeler is the latest casualty to fall from the feature, the place where poker players go to die.

Apologies for the sketchy details but we heard that he flopped top two-pair on a {k-}{j-}{q-} flop only to run into Daniel Gomez's pocket kings for top set. The money went in on the {4-} turn.

Gomez's new chip count is on the way in an official chip count post.

Rodrigo Dos Santos Caprioli Doubles Up Clayton Mozdzen

It was a pre flop all-in encounter in the blinds. We are not sure what the flow of the action was, but do know that Mozdzen was well ahead when the cards were turned onto their backs.

Mozdzen{9-Spades} {9-Hearts}
Caprioli{6-Hearts} {6-Clubs}

Board: {A-Spades} {K-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts}

Mozdzen didn't look at the board until the end had come.

"Nice hand," said Buddiga.

"Just lucky," said Mozdzen.
