Pateychuk Limps Home

[user66118]

We mentioned Andrey Pateychuk earlier today for his impressive record in the last calendar year. Now, he's getting a second mention for nitting his way into a mini-cash.

Pateychuk lost most of his chips during the previous level, and he was on full life support as the money bubble hit. Players aren't allowed to stand and sweat the action during hand-for-hand play, so Pateychuk was relegated to his seat in the far corner, occasionally craning his neck to check on the commotion across the room.

He's made it. With just 1,600 lonely chips left, Pateychuk has just crept into the money, guaranteeing himself $2,754 and the second WSOP cash of his career.
