Liviu Turns the Screws on Hulme
Ignat Liviu, better known as online high-stakes legend "0Human0", opened for 350 under the gun only to have the UK's Andrew Hulme three-bet to 900. The rest of the field got out of the way, Liviu called, and the flop came down 
. Liviu wasted little time in checking, and Hulme continued with a bet of 700. Liviu then sprung to life with a check-raise to 2,500, Hulme called, and the 
peeled off on the turn.
"Twenty-five," Liviu said while tossing out a blue T5,000 ship for a bet of 2,500. Hulme mulled his options before making the call, which brought about the 
river. Liviu took a long time before betting 16,000, and the pressure was on Hulme. A solid two minutes passed as Hulme considered what to do, but he ultimately came to the decision to lay down his hand. With that, Liviu chipped up to 40,000.
Meanwhile, last year's sixth-place finisher, Ari Engel, is also up to 40,000.
