Hand #1 on Table 1, Seat 1 for the One and Only Leon Tsoukernik
Leon Tsoukernik has been busy playing cash games the past couple of days. In his own casino in Rozvadov he played in a live-streamed €500/€1,000/€2,000 cash game with a straddle that at one point reached €32,000. Earlier today we spotted him playing €200/€400 in the casino here in Barcelona, but now he has taken his seat in the €50,000 Super High Roller.
After Jason Mo raised to 6,000 from the cutoff seat, and Mike Watson called on the button, Tsoukernik casually squeezed to 22,400 from the big blind. Mo made the call, Watson folded.
The flop came 
, and Tsoukernik took another bite from his snickers bar, sipped on his coffee, and tossed in 47,000. Mo made the call.
The 
on the turn prompted Tsoukernik to bet 77,000 with about 100,000 behind. Mo folded, and Tsoukernik started stacking with a big smile.
"Write that down — first hand on Table 1, Seat 1... almost doubled!" he laughed.
On the other side of the table, Mo wasn't as excited as Tsoukernik was.
