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!

Shmuel Snir Bechor Eliminated in 42nd Place ($12,200) by Kevin Ewald

Level 19: 10,000 / 15,000 ante: 15,000
Shmuel Snir Bechor

Ankit Ahuja had previously won a healthy pot by betting out Yukako Hiroi. She then jams over the top of the short stack all-in of Shmuel Snir Bechor, who is at risk for 101,000 only.


Kevin Ewald in the blinds happily calls all-in for 717,000 as he has the A A


Bechor with the A K and Hiroi with A K need a lot of help. They actually have the chance for an unlikely chop after the J 6 4 3 turn but the wheel never completes, instead it is the 9 that follows on the river.


After the hand is over, Hiroi asks if she should have just called the first all-in preflop. The answer from several players is yes, but as Michael Gathy points out "you just saved time", referring to the likely call of Ewald's reshove.

The turn card is the K, the river card is the 4, and Ahuja wins the pot with his pair of nines to eliminate Lee in 45th place.

Lynn Gilmartin In Back To Back Pots

Level 2: 200 / 300 ante: 300
Lynn Gilmartin

WPT TV anchor Lynn Gilmartin gets involved in two consecutive hands with the first one going her way. She opens for 800 and finds two callers to join to the flop A J 9 . She continues for 1100 on the turn and only Ankit Ahuja gives her action. After they check the turn A , she resumes betting for 3000 on the river 2 , Ahuja pays to see then quickly mucks to Gilmartin's A Q trips.


Following the win, she dips a bit. On a three-bet pot preflop, Gilmartin bets 5500 on a board T A 4 , Steven Buckner calls as James McCann folds. On the turn 3 , Buckner leads out 8000, Gilmartin likes her cards to reluctantly fold.

Jeremy Jehanne vs Yuki Nakada

Level 4: 300 / 500 ante: 500
Jeremy Jehanne

Jeremy Jehanne moves all-in for 29,200 on the 8 6 3 flop when facing a bet of 7,500 by Yuki Nakada. The latter tanks for more than two minutes and Shmuel Bechor calls the clock on him. Another minute passes and the clock is about to get enforced when Nakada taps the table and folds Q Q face-up.


"I would snap call with ace-king there," Daniel Charlton mentions and Bechor sighs, then tells Nakada he will be pushing him around.

Daniel Neilson and Ankit Ahuja First Duo to Bust

Level 1: 100 / 200 ante: 200

With 13,400 in the middle to the J 7 5 9 turn, Daniel Neilson bets 11,000 and Shmuel Bechor calls. Neilson then bets the 5 river for 28,100 with a single T-100 chip behind and Bechor sigh-calls.


Neilson reveals A Q and Bechor has that beat with the K K .


"I thought I was gonna be the first one to bust, but you might leave before me," Ankit Ahuja jokes with a short stack on the same table.


"No, you will still be first," Neilson replies, set to be forced all-in the very next hand.


Junghyun An then raises to 800 in the first hand after sitting down and Ahuja jams for the last 5,000, the initial raiser Rahul Bhatia folds and An calls.


Ankit Ahuja: A 8

Daniel Neilson: Q 6

Junghyun An: A A


The A Q 4 5 J board knocks out two players at once near the end of level one.


"What did you have for breakfast?" another player jokes to An.
