Wally Maddah

We caught the action between Alex Ivan and Wally Maddah with the board out to the turn reading QdTd7h5h. Ivan was in the big blind and moved all in with a bigger stack.

Maddah thought for a few moments and called for his last 4,300.

“I need the day off,” Maddah said as he started to stand.

Ivan: Ah8h
Maddah: KdQh

Maddah was ahead and sat back down needing to dodge 11 outs to double, eight hearts and three aces.

But the As was one of the bad cards for the Tampa reg and he was sent out.

Alex Ivan – 62,700 (105 bb)

Event 5: Arkadiy Tsisnis Adds Fifth WSOPC Ring

Arkadiy Tsinis

WSOP Circuit Event 5 continued the trend of huge turnouts for the series when 352 entries showed up for the $400 Six-Handed NLH tournament. The short-handed game played down to a talented final table and South Florid’s Arkadiy Tsinis conquered it to walk away with his fifth WSOP Circuit ring.

Our players combined to create a prize pool worth $181,820 and they made the money late on Day 2 with 53 getting paid.

Of those 352 entries, only 25 advanced to Day 2 and Tsinis was sixth coming back and he rode his stack to the final table. He stack was on a rollercoaster once they were down to seven players but he caught aces late to eliminate Michael Rossitto in fourth place.

Tsinis began heads up play by doubling up against chip leader Scott Dobbs on the first hand and he never looked back. He rivered a wheel on the last hand to take the title along with $39,527.

This is the fifth WSOP Circuit ring for Tsinis but he only owns his first. The rest he gifted to friends and family and he plans to do that with this one as well. Also, Tsinis isn’t resting on his laurels and immediately went the registration desk to register for the ongoing $1,125 Pot Limit Omaha game.

Congratulations to Arkadiy and thanks again to everyone for the great showing.

Final table results:

1st: Arkadiy Tsinis – $39,527 + WSOP Circuit ring
2nd: Scott Dobbs – $24,429
3rd: Ruben Javier Vallejo – $16,710
4th: Michael Rossitto – $11,672
5th: Stephan Nussrallah – $8,330
6th: Michael Tait – $6,076
7th: John Gorsuch – $4,533

Arkadiy Tsinis

Arkadiy Tsinis kept the pressure on the shorter stacked Scott Dobbs and extended his lead. Then Tsinis limped his button and Dobbs moved all in for 865,000. After confirming the count, Tsinis called.

Tsinis: Ad5s
Dobbs: 9d2d

Dobbs needed to catch to stay alive and paired his deuce on the Ks7d2h flop. The 3h turn gave Tsinis outs on top of his over cards and he made a wheel on the 4c river to lock up the hand and the tournament.

Dobbs earned$24,429 for his runner-up finish while Tsinis took home $39,527 and his fifth career WSOP Circuit ring.

Michael Rossitto

Michael Rossitto and Arkadiy Tsinis were heads up to a 8c3c2h flop. Rossitto bet from the small blind and Tsinis moved all in for 785,000 from the big. Rossitto thought for a minute and called.

Tsinis: AhAd
Rossitto: Kh8h

Tsinis had the well-disguised rockets in the big blind and they held after the Ac turn and 9c river for his double up. Rossitto was down to two big blinds and eliminated two hands later after making his second final table of the series.

Arkadiy Tsinis – 1,975,000 (40 bb)
