Bielskis Busts Mrakes in Two Hands

Imagine heading into Day 2 of a major event with almost 136,000 in chips and blinds at 400-800 and a running ante of 100 only to be gone within less than half an hour. That's indeed what happened to Michal Mrakes and there was only one player at his table that had covered him: Andrius Bielskis. We walked over to table 26 to find out what happened.

Bielskis confirmed that he had taken the entire stack of his opponent within two hands, both of which were four-bet pots preflop. The first one was an open to 1,700 by Mrakes, three-bet to 3,700 by Bielskis and four-bet of Mrakes to 11,700 which was called. On the rainbow flop, a continuation bet of Mrakes for 9,000 was called and Bielskis took down the pot after betting a river.

Onto the next big clash it was four-bet again and continuation bet on a flop as well as a second barrel worth 16,000 on the turn. The river brought a and Mrakes bet 24,000 to call the push of Bielskis with pocket aces. Unfortunately though, the Lithuanian flipped over pocket fours for the straight and is now the monster chip leader.
