Andrey Pateychuk Wins CPPT Venetian DeepStack Championship Poker Series

Jul 21, '19

For many poker players, the Card Player Poker Tour Venetian DeepStack Championship Poker Series $5,000 main event represented the last chance to make their mark on Las Vegas before heading home. With a $2 million guarantee, players knew that a deep run could add to a great summer, or perhaps salvage a poor one.

That was the case with Russian poker pro Andrey Pateychuk, who got off to a miserable start this summer before turning it around late with a deep run in the WSOP main event.

“I came to Las Vegas in the middle of June, and my first three weeks were terrible,” admitted Pateychuk. “I mean, really, really terrible. I never had [above] my starting stack in any tournament. I would just fold for five hours and bust. Everyday, I would go first to the Rio and bust there. Then I would go to the Wynn and lose a couple entries. Then I would go to Venetian and do the same thing. But then I ran deep in the main event, had a few cashes, and now this.”

This, being a win, of course. Pateychuk topped a field of 564 players to earn the lion’s share of the $2,608,500 prize pool, scoring a payday of $547,777. This was the third largest score of the 29-year-old’s career. He previously won the EPT San Remo main event for $963,628 and the WPT Prague main event for $599,720.

While some players took full advantage of the two starting flights, day 2 registration, and re-entries, Pateychuk said he was only in for two bullets in this $5,000 event. Other players in the field were not as fortunate.

Still over an hour to reg @VenetianPoker guys. Softest $25k of year.

Pateychuk, who splits his time between Moscow and Minsk, had to change his flight home twice during his run in the four-day tournament. The inconvenience, however, ended up being worth it in the end as he overcame an international final table that also included representatives from China, England, Germany, Spain, Hungary, and the United States.

The stacked final table featured notable pros Marton Czuczor (9th), Chris Klodnicki (4th), Stephen Chidwick (3rd), and WSOP main event tenth place-finisher Robert Heidorn (5th).

Chidwick, who took the first month of the summer off following the birth of his first child, promptly kick started his summer by winning his first WSOP bracelet and $1,618,417 in the $25,000 pot-limit Omaha championship event.

Incredibly, this was Chidwick’s second consecutive year making the final table of this tournament. Last year, he finished in fourth place for $177,091. This year, he improved by one spot, cashing for $245,199 to put a cherry on top of an incredible few weeks of poker that also included a runner-up finish in an Aria $10,000 high roller event.

The British poker pro now has $25.1 million in career live tournament earnings. As a result of his run, Chidwick now sits in first place in the overall Card Player Player of the Year race with 5,521 points.

Other notables who finished in the money in this tournament included Jeremy Ausmus (10th), Igor Yaroshevskyy (12th), Benjamin Palmer (13th), Nadya Magnus (15th), Adam Owen (17th), Joe Kuether (18th), Manig Loeser (22nd), JC Tran (25th), Eddy Sabat (32nd), Shannon Shorr (46th), Elio Fox (48th), John Phan (55th), Aaron Mermelstein (57th), and Brian Yoon (59th).

Andrey Pateychuk Eliminated By Anthony Zinno

Jul 17, '18

Andrey Pateychuk was all-in preflop from the button and called by Tom Marchese in middle position and Anthony Zinno in the hijack.

The flop brought the K1010 and Marches checked. Zinno fired a bet into the side pot and Marchese folded so quickly that your intrepid reporter didn’t have time to count Zinno’s bet, which was pulled back as Zinno opened the AQ.

Pateychuk held the AJ.

The turn was the 9 and the river the J, giving Zinno a straight to earn the pot and the knockout.

Pateychuk, Cheong, Bonyadi, Salsberg and Levy Sit Down

Jul 13, '13

The field keeps increasing steadily as we are now up to 70 players registered. Four more big names have set down and they might’ve doubled the total earnings of the the rest of the field with their list of huge scores.

Joseph Cheong on his own accounts for $8.6 in winnings, $4.1 of which came in the 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event. Cheong finished third in that event behind John Racener and winner Jonathan Duhamel. This year has been quite spectacular as well for Cheong as he’s managed to win the Manilla Millions for $1.3 million, he finished second in both the $100k Super High Roller WPT for $614,250 and the $50k High Roller at the WSOP APAC for A$511,000.

The other players that accounts for a ton of live tournament winnings is Russian pro Andrey Pateychuk. Pateychuk had an amazing year in 2011 when he won EPT San Remo for €680,000, WPT Prague for €450,000 and he added a 15th place finish in the WSOP Main Event for close to $500,000. Currently Pateychuk is 8th on the Russian all-time money list with $2.2 million in live tournament earnings.

Farzad Bonyadi had quite the eventful week in Las Vegas as he finish on the stone bubble in the WSOP Main Event. Bonyadi received a seat into next year’s Main Event and rushed over to the Bellagio to play the $10,000 Bellagio Cup. The three-time WSOP bracelet winner finished 17th in that event while 15 places would get paid. The Venetian Deep Stack Main Event could be Bonyadi’s ultimate revenge, but of course that’s a bit preemptive as we’re in the second level of the day.

The WPT Season 11 Player of the Year Matt Salsberg has also sat down sat down. Salsberg won WPT Paris for €380,000 and at the beginning of the year he added another WPT final table to his resume at the Borgata Winter Open. Finally we’ve also spotted Grant Levy who’s made it here all the way from Down Under.

Levy won a PCA side event at the beginning of this year and finished 8th in the EPT Grand Final. Levy’s biggest results came in his home country where he won ANZPT Perth for A$131,500 and APPT Sydney for A$1,000,000.

Little Gets Huge!

Jul 15, '13

Jonathan Little just won a massive pot and he now has close to four times the average stack. Little raised to 2,500 under the gun and five players decided to call among which Michael Fosco in the big blind.

The flop brought AQJ and it was checked to Little who bet 7,500. The action was folded to Andrey Pateychuk who called on the button.

Fosco raised to 22,500 from the big blind the action was back on Little who chucked a large stack of blue chips into the pot with the announcement that he was all in. Pateychuk tanked for a long time before folding.

Fosco took some time as well, but he eventually decided to call all in for around 100,000 chips.

Little showed AJ and was up against Fosco’s K5. Fosco had plenty of outs but the turn brought the Q. On the river the K hit and Fosco was knocked out.

Little is up to around 400,000 chips and he’s clearly crushing the tournament.
