  • We missed the beginning, but a huge hand was just played that spelled the end of Event 1 for Andrej Bachynsky and gave Jessie Wheatley a commanding lead going to heads up play.

    The board read 4 of Clubs 10 of Hearts 9 of Clubs with a minimum (-ish) pot in the middle between Jessie in the BB and Andrej on the button. The turn came 10 of Diamonds and Jessie checked, which was met with a quick shove from Andrej – and Jessie snap-called, flipping over Jack of Diamonds 10 of Clubs for the turned trips, while Andrej could only respond with 6 of Hearts 6 of Spades. The river was the 8 of Diamonds and that was the end of Andrej’s tournament.

    It was somewhat unlucky for Andrej because he played very well throughout the final day of action, driving the action most of the way and being one of the only players to make significant gains.
