Hand #202: Artem Vezhenkov Wins WPT Cambodia Championship ($390,650); Ronald Haverkamp Finishes As Runner-Up ($255,000)

Level 31: 125,000 / 250,000 ante: 250,000

HAND #202: Artem Vezhenkov limps for 250,000, Ronald Haverkamp checks his option in the big blind, and dealer fans out the flop T♦ Q♦ 3♣ . Following a check, Vezhenkov bets 250,000, Haverkamp calls, and they head to the turn K♥ . Vezhenkov fires again, this time a heftier 1,300,000, and after a time bank used, Haverkamp check-calls.

This brings them to the river Q♣ where Haverkamp checks once more. Vezhenkov pushes a stack of his biggest chips. Haverkamp agonizes and tanks then risks his tournament life.

Artem Vezhenkov: Q♠ T♥ (full house, queens full of tens)

Ronald Haverkamp: K♦ 6♠ (two pair, kings and queens)

Vezhenkov wins the pot -- and the title and the trophy -- with a full house, queens full of tens.

Ronald Haverkamp finishes as the runner-up, earning $255,000.

Artem Vezhenkov wins the WPT Cambodia Championship, earning a trophy and $390,650. That amount includes his $10,400 seat into the season-ending WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas. Vezhenkov's name will also be engraved on the one-and-only Mike Sexton WPT Champions Cup alongside every other WPT champion from all 23 seasons of the World Poker Tour.

Congratulations to Artem Vezhenkov!
