Janiszewski Building
Poland’s Karol Janiszewski is another play intent on building a big stack and is doing a pretty good job of it so far. Every time we have walked past Karol’s table he seems to be involved in a hand, and it’s always a big one, though we have not seen all that many of them make it to showdown.
We saw Janiszewski getting frisky in a blind on blind battle versus a tablemate who limped the action from the small blind and the Polish player responded with a raise to 6,700.
The small blind re-raised to 16,700 and Janiszewski quickly pulled the trigger and moved all-in for significantly more in chips than his opponent, who agonized over the decision for quite some time before letting it go and leaving Janiszewski to rake in the pot unopposed.
The next time we passed by Janiszewski had bombed the turn on a 
board against another tablemate who flashed the Pole pocket threes before throwing his hand away, but not before begging Janiszewskito show his hand. The Pole flashed a cheeky grin and mucked, taking down yet another pot to climb to 83,000.
Eventually, we finally got to see Janiszewski in a hand that made it to showdown, but it resulted in an anti-climatic chop. The hand in question was a blind on blind battle against Diego Gonzales, who was in the big blind, and the two got into a raising war that saw all the chips go in pre-flop.
Karol held 
and was up against Gonzales’ 
and there was a sweaty moment for the Spaniard on the turn when the board ran out 
to give Karol a heap of outs for the win, but the 
river was not one of them and the two divvied up the pot.
