500k

Borgata Winter Poker Open Championship

Vadim Vanquishes Aces

Vadim Shlez (Manalapan, NJ) has been a force at Table 1 going from stalking the front runners to one of the top dogs. On the first hand of the day Shelz has pocket kings against the pocket aces of Dan Wach (Boonton, NJ) in a clash of top 30 stacks.

Shlez spikes a king on the flop and doubles 220k, while Wach is down to 7k and is out the next hand.

Shlez says, "it was the best hour of my life in live poker," as he takes his stack to 500k, one of several players in the 450 to 525k range.
