Marcin Horecki was down to about 3,000 chips within the first couple of levels, but he has now vaulted up to around 25,000. He was all in on a flop of J♣-8♠-2♠ holding J♠-3♠ for top pair and a flush draw. He wasn't ahead at that point, however, because his opponent had K-K. Running threes on turn and river, however, were good for the outdraw.
A few hands later, and Horecki took a chunk from Andrew Chen. Horecki raised from the cut-off and Chen called in the big blind. The flop was A-K-10 and Horecki bet. Chen called that too. The turn was a six. Bet, call. And the river was a 5. Bet, call. Horecki showed pocket sixes for the turned set. Chen mucked.
The former downhill ski champion from Poland is now on the climb.
