Weis Cements Lead

Two of the field’s bigger stacks – Oliver Weis and Mustapha Kanit – have just tangled in hand that proved to be a little expensive for the latter.

While we missed the pre-flop action there was already over 20,000 already in the pot and the community cards were already spread.

First to act Kanit checked it over to Weis on the button, who elected to lead out for 7,000. Kanit called and it was off to the turn, which brought checks from both players.

The river brought four to a straight and Kanit checked it over to Wies once again, who fired for 19,000. Kanit obviously had a plan for the hand and check-raised to 83,000 in total and Wies snap called.

Kanit sheepishly rolled over for bottom pair but Weis had just rivered the wheel with and took a big bite out of Kanit’s stack.

There have been a number of casualties recently and while we have not been able to catch their exit hands we do know one of them is Bertrand Grospellier.
