Party Like its 2021; Kniep and Onikoul Share 2021 Main Event Memories

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Andreas Kniep and Arkadi Onikoul were spotted at the same table after Kniep had just chopped up a big pot with an opponent both making two pair with ace-king.

Those who are fans of the WSOP Main Event will recall that both players made a very deep run in the 2021 Main Event. But these two share more than that as were involved in one of the defining hands of Day 7 when Onikoul spiked a king to crack Kniep's aces which gave Onikoul a huge stack and cut Kniep down short. Had Kniep's aces held he would have been the overwhelming chip leader at that point in the tournament and likely would have ridden it to at least the final table. As it turned out, Kniep ended up finishing in 18th place while Onikoul used that huge hand to finish in 12th before himself succumbing in a huge hand vs eventual champion Koray Aldemir.
