Bart Wetsteijn Wheeled Out (Fifth)
2 years ago
Jack Hinchey is dealt A
4
and bets $16,000. Bart Wetsteijn looks down to find K
K
and decides to try and trap by flat-calling.
The flop comes an incredible 5
3
2
, which gives Hinchey the wheel straight. Hinchey bets $30,000 and Wetsteijn comes over the top by pushing all-in. Hinchey insta-calls and Wetsteijn is stunned as the players reveal their cards.
The board finishes 3
and then J
. Wetsteijn is our fifth-place finisher and will receive $120,000 for his efforts. It will probably be a long while before Wetsteijn slow-plays kings again.

Stanislaw Times Two (A Second Time)
2 years ago
Piotr Stanislaw has come back from the dead with yet another double-up, this time at the expense of a very suspect call from chip leader Jack Hinchey. With blinds of $4k/$8k Stanislaw was sitting with less than 10 big blinds and shoved under the gun for around $70,000.
It was folded to Hinchey in the small blind, who looked down at 2
2
. He gave it some thought before announcing call. The big blind released and Stanislaw tabled 6
6
, which were in great shape.
The board ran J
9
5
A
4
and the sixes are good for the double. Stanislaw is now on $146,000, good for third position in the chip counts.
