Plesuv In the Lead; Doubles a Short Stack

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 250 ante

Pavel "silentm0de" Plesuv had already more than tripled the starting stack and raise-called the shove of a short-stacked "KGB0569" to create the following showdown.

"KGB0569": {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Pavel "silentm0de" Plesuv: {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

The board ran out {8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and the short stack doubled. However, the fortune ran out shortly after when they ran with {6-Spades}{6-Hearts} into the {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} of "M.Flush.N" who made a full house for good measure on the {k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{k-Spades}{q-Clubs} board.

The other current big stack is vitkauskas98 from the Ukraine who faces Thomas "MarToMchat" Boivin, Aleksejs "APonakov" Ponakovs and Luis "luisdono" Dono.
