Hecklen Folds Out Three; Two New Players
Level 1
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Last year's runner-up Artur Martirosian, took Seat 2 on Table 117, between Ben Heath and Johannes Straver, where the latter opened from under the gun to 12,000.
Seth Davies, Henrik Hecklen and Ben Heath called from the cutoff and the blinds.
The A♥8♥10♠ flop checked through to the 3♣ turn. Hecklen led out for 31,000, folding out Heath and Straver. Davies opted to stick around.
Hecklen sized up to 85,000 on the 8♣ river and Davies promptly returned his cards to the dealer.
As the hand ended, Mikita Badziakouski joined the table, taking Talal Shakerchi's seat. The Englishman was moved to Table 117, where he finds himself in the middle of Dan Smith and Aleksejs Ponakovs.
