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!

Level 19: 10,000 / 15,000 ante: 15,000

The second short stack in a row exits from table three. First to go is Amit Kaushik after a torrid second level and Dylan Foster then hits the rail against fellow Aussie Amin Riyazati, who currently leads the Player of the Festival ranking as well.


Foster jams for 105,000 and Riyazati in the big blind has not looked at his cards yet. He peels the first one, which is the K and says "the first one is good". The second card is, too, as it's the K .


Foster has a mountain to climb with J T and Riyazati flops a full house on the A A K 9 4 board.


"This is the last thing I want," Riyazati sighs before both embrace and part ways.

On a completed board of A K J 2 A , Amit Kaushik checks in the big blind. Artem Vezhenkov bets 250,000 from under the gun and Kaushik uses one time bank to then move all-in with the covering stack.


Vezhenkov immediately leans back in the seat and sighs. He uses one time bank and calls for 583,000, instantly asks if Kaushik has ace-king. Kaushik only has A 2 for aces full of deuces, which he has beat with the A J for aces full of jacks.

Big Double for Paul Hoefer Against Artem Vezhenkov

Level 14: 2,500 / 5,000 ante: 5,000
Paul Hoefer

Artem "veeea" Vezhenkov arrives at his new table with two racks and a stack worth nearly seven figures. Paul Hoefer then raises to 10,000 only for Vezhenkov to three-bet big to 40,000. The four-bet shove by Hoefer follows and Vezhenkov calls with the A Q .


Hoefer is in trouble with A J but improves on every street equity wise on the Q T 4 K 8 runout. The double is for 247,500 and that puts quite a dent into Vezhenkov's stack.


"Of course I know who he is, otherwise I would not have done it," Hoefer clarifies.
