Zimnik Doubles, Del Vecchio on Fumes

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

Bin Weng opened to 8,000 in early position and was called by Viet Vo on the button. Nathan Zimnik shipped all in for 52,000 in the small blind and Michael Del Vecchio re-shoved all in from the big blind. Weng and Vo quickly folded and the remaining two hands were face up.

Nathan Zimnik: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Michael Del Vecchio: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

It was a coin flip and the flop of {j-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs} favored Del Vecchio. The {4-Diamonds} on the turn changed nothing but the {a-Clubs} on the river was exactly what Zimnik was looking for.

Dowdy Busts One

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

An early position player was all in for 56,000 and Yuval Bronshtein called, but David Dowdy shoved from the next seat over with just under 400,000. Bronshtein got out of the way and action was heads up with the early position player at risk.

Opponent: {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}
David Dowdy: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

The board ran out {3-Spades}{k-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and Dowdy flopped a set of kings to send his opponent to the rail.

DeWitt Puts De Almeida in De Tank

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

Jason DeWitt raised to 9,000 in the hijack and Pierre De Almeida called from the big blind. The flop fell {10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and De Almeida check-called a bet from DeWitt.

The turn brought the {k-Hearts} and De Almeida checked again. DeWitt tossed in a bet of 26,000 on the turn and De Almeida still called. The {j-Diamonds} completed the board and De Almeida checked for the third time. DeWitt pushed in the last of his 90,000 chips which put De Almeida in the tank.

After at least three minutes passed by, the clock was called and De Almeida finally threw away his cards in the final seconds. DeWitt collected the pot and De Almeida was left shaking his head.

Vikenty Shegal
Vikenty Shegal

On March 1, the 2023 Wynn Millions hosted its $3,000 NLH 6-Max $200K GTD, which more than doubled the guarantee as 184 players created a $506,000 prize pool. Among those to make the money by finishing in the top 20 were Maria Konnikova (10th - $11,193), Ryan Leng (11th - $11,193), Matthew Wantman (15th - $8,693), Will “The Thrill” Failla (16th - $7,767), and Cherish Andrews (19th - $7,028).

Belgium’s Michael Gathy made a deep run finishing in third place for $54,193, and the next day he’d go on to win the $3,000 NLH Progressive Bounty for $62,368. At that point, the final two players worked a deal that saw Alex Foxen finish in second place for $112,006 while Vikenty Shegal got $112,007 and the trophy.
