Level 27: 30,000/60,000/10,000 Ante
Players Remaining: 7/465

Andjelko Andrejevic has spun it up after being down to less than one big blind. Here’s how the last three hands have played out:

Hand 1

Andrejevic was in the small blind and had Wally Maddah’s last 615,000 chips at risk from the big blind.

Maddah: Jc9c
Andrejevic: Th6s

Maddah hit two pair on the runout and he doubled through Andrejevic. Andrejevic was left with 60,000 chips.

Hand 2

After anteing 10,000 of his 60,000 chips, Andrejevic was on the button and action folded to him. He casually put his last 50,000 — less than one big blind — in the pot. Maddah completed from the button and Geddes Cooper checked the big blind. Maddah and Cooper checked down the runout and it was Andrejevic’s AxTx that took the pot. He tripled up.

Hand 3

With a slightly more respectable 210,000 chips, Andrejevic was in the cutoff and jammed. Maddah called from the button and Haim Toorgeman defending from the big blind. The board ran out Qh5s3s5cAs. Maddah flashed TxTx but it was no good against Andrejevic’s QcQd set. With that, he tripled again.

After being down to 50,000 chips, Andrejevic now claims over 600,000.
