Midway through Level 17, Weber is sitting with 1.3M. Here’s a quick break-down of how he crushed his opening table and grabbed a big lead early in Day 2.
First, he picked up 4x4x and opened to 11k. He was 3-bet to 35k and made the call for a heads-up pot.
Flop: 9x8x4x (Two clubs)
Weber checked. Villain bet and Weber called.
Turn: 8x
Check/check.
River: Qx (Third club)
Weber checked for a third time, his opponent bet 130k leaving ~90k behind and Weber moved all-in having him covered. His opponent called and Weber’s full house was good to take down his first big pot of the day.
Next, Weber got it in pre-flop in a classic flip. He opened to 18k, was 3-bet to 58k by David Vamplew. Weber 4-bet to 135k and Vamplew moved all-in for ~400k. Weber had him covered and made the call.
Weber AxKx vs Vamplew QxQx
The flop came Kx8x3x and Weber held to win the flip and move over a million. Later on, he picked up another cooler spot with AxAx against AxKx for an ~200k stack and continued to climb in the early levels on Day 2. The break is coming up in about 15 minutes and the blog will give the first look at the leader-board.
