Yuval Bronshtein Sneaks Into the Lead

Yuval Bronshtein - Chip Leader
Yuval Bronshtein - Chip Leader
Aggressive play by Yuval Bronshtein in the Hold'em level sees his towers of orange 1K chips reach critical height. Therefore they're hard to count; I would place a fairly heavy bet on his having topped 200K, however. Most recently he won two pots back-to-back:

The first saw the betting up to 12K preflop, with the final bet being made by out-of-position Bronshtein, called by button Jennifer Harman. The flop brought {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{9-Spades}. Bronshtein bet out 3K, raise to 6K from Harman, insta-reraise from him and he took the pot. He showed her the {3-Clubs} as he raked in the pot.

Then Barny Boatman lost a tough one -- it looked like the board was {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{Q-Spades}{5-Clubs}{6-Spades} with the six having arrived on the river. I saw this hand from the point where Barny bet 6K on the river, and then called Yuval Bronshtein's raise. A pause ensued while neither player wished to reveal his hand -- it was up to Bronshtein -- and he showed {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and was awarded the pot. A sad-looking head shake from the Hendon Mobster, who flashed the {A-Clubs} as he mucked his hand.
