Wiecek Run Out Before Break

David Salituro

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The rest of the field had already gone off on break, but most of the players at Table 5 stayed behind as George-Mircea Tomescu and Piotr Wiecek were still involved in a massive pot.

There was already around 80,000 in the middle as the board read 4♥7♣K♠5♠4♦. Wiecek, in early position, then moved all in for around 60,000 and Tomescu quickly called in the big blind.

Wiecek showed A♠10♥ for a bluff, while Tomescu had 4♠3♠ for trip fours to win the pot and ensure Wiecek wouldn't be returning from the break.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Aliaksandr Shylko was all in for 25,000 from middle position, Mihai Hanu had his last 35,000 in the middle from the big blind, and button Anton Kuznetsov had them both covered and at risk.

Aliaksandr Shylko: A♣10♦

"Quick and painless," a tablemate said.

"I thought for sure I was going to hit an ace," Shylko said on his way to the exit.

Lage Cuinas shook his head and showed K♥K♣, while Wheeler turned over A♠3♠ for a flush to send Lage Cuinas to the rail.
