Vasili Firsau Takes Over The Lead

With about 20 minutes to go on Day 1A in the Card Casino, Vasili Firsau has just taken over the Chiplead and eliminated Michael Polchlopek. Polchlopek was the initial raiser to 1,200 and Paul Tedeschi flatted, one further caller triggered the three-bet by Firsau in the Big Blind and Polchpolek as well as Tedeschi called.

On the three-way Flop [6d] [9c] [As] bet and this time only Polchpolek called to go Heads-Up to the Turn [Th]. Firsau suddenly checked while enjoying a massage and Polchpolek fell for the trap and moved all-in for 20,000 into a pot of 36,000. Firsau snap called and turned over [Ad] [Kc] whereas his opponent needed help with [Ah,] [Jh].

The [9d] bricked on the River and that brought us a new Chipleader.
