Hand #33 - Vladimir Schmelev Doubles Through Mikael Thuritz

Vladimir Schmelev
Vladimir Schmelev

The button is with David Oppenheim in Seat 7.

Mikael Thuritz raises it up to 110,000 from under the gun, before next to speak, Vladimir Schmelev makes it 325,000 to play. The table folds around and Thuritz quickly moves all in and Schmelev insta-calls!

Thuritz: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Schmelev: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}

The classic cooler on one of the biggest final tables at the WSOP. Ouch!

The dealer spread the board {4-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{4-Spades}{A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and after a count down of chips it appears that Thuritz is left with just 5,000 in chips as Schmelev doubles to around 3.3 million!
