How Wenzelburger Went From Short Stack to Chip Leader
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
In three hands, Philipp Wenzelburger went from the short stack to the chip leader following a miraculous run.
In the first, his pocket deuces rivered quads against Rania Nasreddine's ace-king suited to see his stack grow to around 950,000.
The following hand, he received a double and change after jamming the turn against two opponents. He folded out former chip leader Natan Chauskin before being called by Vladimir Troyanovskiy.
Wenzelburger had pocket eights on nine-high board which managed to survive against Troyanovskiy's bottom pair and flush draw.
On the next deal, Wenzelburger flopped top two pair and got three streets of value from Chauskin, to dethrone the latter from the top of the counts.
