Artem “veeea” Vezhenkov arrives at his new table with two racks and a stack worth nearly seven figures. Paul Hoefer then raises to 10,000 only for Vezhenkov to three-bet big to 40,000. The four-bet shove by Hoefer follows and Vezhenkov calls with the Spade ASpade Q.

Hoefer is in trouble with Heart AHeart J but improves on every street equity wise on the Heart QSpade 10Heart 4Club KHeart 8 runout. The double is for 247,500 and that puts quite a dent into Vezhenkov’s stack.

“Of course I know who he is, otherwise I would not have done it,” Hoefer clarifies.

Paul Hoefer – 500,000 (100 bb)

Artem Vezhenkov – 735,000 (147 bb)
