We missed the action, but when we arrived at the table Maurice Simard (big blind) was all-in versus Niki Vassilev (cutoff). With the board showing
, Niki tabled
and was in a world of trouble versus the
of Maurice. With no help on the
and
running cards, Niki was forced to pay his opponent 411,000 in chips, leaving him with roughly 3 big blinds behind.
Niki has since tripled up his stack and is hovering around the 10 big blind mark now with still 10 players in the field.
