Simon Deadman is certainly one of the most in-form players in the field here at WPT Main Event in Prague. He arrives on the back of a fantastic twelve months during which he's been heads-up for a WSOP bracelet with Jason Mercier, cashing eighteen times in live tournaments for a little under a million dollars. We followed an orbit with one of poker's hottest properties as the Main Event Travel ambassador takes on a table featuring Steve O'Dwyer, Dylan Linde, Stephen Chidwick and the WPT Main Event champion from last year in Nottingham, Matas Cimbolas.
Apoyo 1 - Deadman is in the small blind. Steve O'Dwyer is the first to act, raising from the button to 1,300. Deadman pops it to 3,000 y toma el pot.
Apoyo 2 - With Deadman now on the button, the action is folded to Chidwick in the hijack, who raises to 1,100. Deadman three-bets to 3,000. Chidwick folds. Maybe this is how he does it; no-one dares call him.
Apoyo 3 - Matas Cimbolas takes a 5,000 apuesta triple pot de Anton Afanasyev, mientras Deadman se retira.
Apoyo 4 - Again Deadman folds, but Afanasyev looks like he is getting a little sick of losing pots he's raised. Again he raises pre, and gets a caller in O'Dwyer, who calls 3,000 both pre-flop and post-flop on , but lays his hand down when Afanasyev leads out 8,000 on a turn of another five.
Apoyo 5 - Deadman leads the betting from mid-position, raising to 1300. Everyone folds. Maybe it's the jumper and scarf combination. Maybe it's the way he sits, like he's overseeing a table he owns. Either way, he's well ahead so far.
Apoyo 6 - Afanasyev takes a small one from a desperately short Stephen Chidwick. Deadman folds under-the-gun very quickly.
Apoyo 7 - Afanasyev raises and only Deadman calls in the big blind for 1,100. viene el fracaso and Afanasyev c-bets, like he may do in his sleep. Deadman calls the 1,100 repeat bet. the turn of

, lo que es bueno.
Overal - Deadman has made over 10,000 chips, winning all four hands he played of the seven dealt. The only hand he has shown is pocket deuces. The scarf and jumper, like the man himself, look completely unruffled.
