End of the Road for "stealthfool7"

Level 53 : 400,000/800,000, 100,000 ante

"klimono" opened to 2,240,000 from the cutoff and got calls from "stealthfool7" on the button and "Mr.Skinny.00" from the big blind.

The action checked to "steathfool7" after the {8-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{2-Hearts} came on the flop and this player bet 7,720,000. "Mr.Skinny.00" jammed for 46,825,000. "klimono" folded and "stealfool7" called off for 26,404,000.

"stealthfool7": {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}
"Mr.Skinny.00": {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}

"stealthfool7" needed a lot of help and was drawing dead after the {10-Spades} came on the turn. The {q-Clubs} came on the river to give "stealthfool7" two pair but this wasn't enough to save their tournament.

Dzivielevski has won an incredible three WCOOP titles in the first two weeks of online poker’s most prestigious series, taking his career tally to four. At the time of writing, he’s in second place on both the overall and High WCOOP leaderboards and sits third in the Medium contest.
