Event #8 Flight A & B

Event #8 $300 NLH Flight A received 135 entrants and 31 players made it through to Day 2 on Friday.

Meanwhile, Flight B got 109 entrants and currently 35 players remain at 11:30pm.

1st Place: Hilary Dombrowski ($11,844)

With a board reading [9c][5h][6s][5s], all three remaining players managed to get their chips in and all three revealed unbelievable hands:

Brad Manter: [Tc][5d] for turned trips
Mark Awalt: [8h][7c] for a flopped straight
Hilary Dombrowski: [6d][6c] for a turned full house

Only the [5c] could take away the win from Hilary, but the dealer instead placed the [7h] on the river, awarding the pot and the tournament to Hilary.  He will earn $11,844 for his finish, as well as the World Poker Finals title.  Congratulations, Hilary!

2nd Place: Brad Manter ($10,000)

3rd Place: Mark Awalt ($10,000)

4th Place: Anthony Campagna ($10,000)

Anthony Campagna was all in preflop holding [Ad][Td] and was up against the [Ts][Tc] of Hilary Dombrowski.  The board ran out [2c][5c][9c][2s][8c] to give Hilary the winning flush.  Anthony will be eliminated in 4th place, collecting $10,000 for his efforts.

Hilary Dombrowski doubles through Brad Manter

On the first hand back from dinner break, Hilary Dombrowski was all in with the best hand in poker, [As][Ah].  He was in great shape to double up against Brad Manter's [Ts][Th], and the aces held up on the [2s][6h][2d][5h][Jd] board.  Hilary now has almost a million.

Chip counts at dinner break

The final four players are now on their one hour dinner break.  Play resumes at 7:30pm EST, and the blinds will be 15,000/30,000 with a 5,000 ante.  Here are updated chip counts in seat order:

Hilary Dombrowski - 445,000
Anthony Campagna - 850,000
Brad Manter - 565,000
Mark Awalt - 1,180,000

Four way deal reached

After the elimination of Jordan Fishman, the final four have reached a deal.  They will each take $10,000 and play for the remaining $1,844 and the trophy.

5th Place: Jordan Fishman ($4,262)

Jordan Fishman (left) watches his pocket fours go down in flames

Jordan Fishman was all in preflop and was racing with his [4h][4c] against Hilary Dombrowski's [Ac][Tc].  The [2s][Qd][As] was not favorable to Jordan as Hilary paired his ace.  Jordan was unable to find a four on the [7s] turn or [6s] river, and he will exit the tournament in 5th place.  He will collect $4,262 for his efforts.

Hilary Dombrowski doubles through Anthony Campagna

From the button, Hilary Dombrowski moved all in and was called by Anthony Campagna in the big blind.  Hilary was in rough shape with his [Jc][Ts] against Anthony's [Ks][Jh].  Hilary hit his three outer when the flop fell [Ad][Th][5h], but he still had to dodge a king or a queen to survive.  The [8c] was safe, as was the [Jd] on the river.  Hilary will double up with two pair and now has just over 300,000.

6th Place: Joseph Berardi ($3,231)

Anthony Campagna doubles through Brad Manter

Anthony Campagna was all in with [9s][9d] and was up against the [7d][7c] of Brad Manter.  The board ran out a pure [6d][8h][3h][4s][Td] to give Anthony the double up.  He now sits on 240,000.

7th Place: John Stella ($2,498)

John Stella raised in early position and action folded around to Mark Awalt in the big blind.  Mark asked John how much he was playing and eventually decided to move all in, having John covered.  John snap called, and the two showed their hands:

John [Ks][Qc]
Mark [Qh][Qd]

The [7d][Ad][Tc] flop gave John a gutshot to go with his overcard, but he failed to find one of his outs on the [8s] turn or [Ts] river  John will earn $2,498 for his 7th place finish today.

8th Place: Anthony Magistrale ($1,959)

9th Place: Randy Spain ($1,567)

10th Place: Jeffrey Miller ($1,265)

1st Place: Jason Calnan ($12,101)

After getting heads up, Jason Calnan and Raj Patel agreed to an even chop of the money, awarding Jason the trophy and the World Poker Finals title.  Congratulations to both players!

2nd Place: Raj Patel ($12,101)

3rd Place: Jose Pereira ($6,391)

In three back-to-back hands, Raj Patel doubled through Jose Pereira, then Jose doubled through Raj, then Raj knocked out Jose.  Here's how it happened:

On the first hand, Raj Patel found himself all in on a a [Qh][4h][Jd] flop with [Js][Jc] and was up against the open ended straight draw of Jose Pereira who held [Kd][Td].  The [5h] turn and [Kc] kept Raj's set in front, and he doubled up.

On the second hand, Jose was all in preflop with [Kh][7h] and was up against Raj's [Th][7s].  The [4h][Tc][Ah] gave Raj the best hand with a pair of sevens, but Jose was still very live with a flush draw and a draw to a pair of kings.  The [3h] hit the turn to lock up the doubleup for Jose, and the river fell the meaningless [2h].

The two tangled one last time when Jose was all in with [Ah][Kh] and was up against Raj's [Ac][Tc].  Jose was in great shape to double up when the flop fell [3c][6d][8d], and he maintained his lead on the [8s] turn.  But the [Th] was the three outer Raj needed to eliminate Jose in 3rd place.  Jose was unlucky in this last hand, but he'll have $6,391 to console him for his efforts today.

Raj Patel doubles through Jason Calnan

Raj Patel moved all in from the small blind and was called by Jason Calnan in the big blind.  Raj held [Ad][6d] and was up against Jason's [Ah][3c].  Jason begged for a chop, but the board ran out [7h][9c][2s][6h][Qc], pairing Raj and earning him the double up.  He now has 500,000.

4th Place: Tom Dobrilovic ($4,753)

Jason Calnan raised preflop and Tom Dobrilovic moved all in.  Jason made the all and showed [Ks][Kc] which was in front of Tom's [7s][7d].  The [Td][6c][Tc][Kd][4d] board failed to deliver Tom a seven to suck out, and he will exit the tournament in 4th place.  Tom will collect $4,753 for his efforts.

Event #6 $500 NLH Seniors Prize Pool & Payouts

Dinner break chip counts

The final four players in Event #4 $500 NLH are now on their one hour dinner break.  Play will resume at approximately 7:40pm EST with 15,000/30,000 blinds with a 5,000 ante.  Here are updated chip counts in seat order:

Jose Pereira - 590,000
Raj Patel - 415,000
Jason Calnan - 1,120,000
Tom Dobrilovic - 335,000

Raj Patel doubles through Jason Calnan

At 12,000/24,000 blinds, Raj Patel moved all in from the small blind for 167,000 and was called by Jason Calnan.  Raj held [Th][Tc] and was in good shape to double up against Jason's [Jh][Td].  The [2h][9s][Ah] flop was good for Raj, but the [7c] turn gave Jason a gut shot straight to go with his overcard.  The [4c] river blanked and Raj breathed a sigh of relief as he doubled up.

5th Place: Jeremy Perez ($3,606)

Jeremy Perez moved all in preflop holding [Kd][6d] and Raj Patel moved all in over the top with [Js][Jd].  Jeremy failed to suck out when the board ran out [4s][Qd][3c][8h][2d], and he will be our 5th place finisher.  Jeremy takes home $3,606 for his efforts today.

Tom Dobrilovic doubles through Jose Pereira

Under the gun, Jose Pereira minraised to 40,000.  Action folded around to Tom Dobrilovic in the big blind who moved in.  Jose snap called and tabled [9h][9d] but Tom had picked up [Ks][Kh].  The board ran out a pure [4d][Ac][5s][3d][8c] to give Tom the double up, bumping his stack up to 450,000.

6th Place: Steven Weeks ($2,950)

Raj Patel moved all in preflop and Steven Weeks called all in for less from the small blind.  Tom Dobrilovic in the big blind had a big decision, and after a few minutes he folded pocket tens face up.  Raj held [Ah][8h] and Steven held [Qd][Jc], so Tom would have been fighting three overs.

The flop fell [Tc][8d][Kd], giving Steven an open ended straight draw to go with his two overcards.  The [6h] turn and [8c] river failed to improve Steven, and he will be eliminated in 6th place.  He will collect $2,950 for his efforts.

Meanwhile, Tom has been bemoaning his fold as he would have tripled up with tens full.

Chip counts at the break

The final 6 players are now on break.  When they return, blinds will be 10,000/20,000 with a 3,000 ante.  Here are updated chip counts in seat order:

Jose Pereira - 800,000
Jeremy Perez - 300,000
Raj Patel - 169,000
Jason Calnan - 860,000
Steven Weeks - 142,000
Tom Dobrilovic - 130,000

Jose Pereira doubles up

Jose Pereira was all in preflop holding [As][Kc] and was up against his opponent's [6h][6d].  Jose was able to win the race as the board ran out [Qd][Kd][4c][5d][8s].

Steven Weeks doubles through Jason Calnan

Steven Weeks was all in preflop holding [As][3s] against the [Qs][Jh] of Jason Calnan.  Steven wasted no time locking up the double up, flopping the wheel on the [4h][2d][5d] flop.  There was to be no chop as the turn and river came [7c][3h], and Steven now sits on 290,000.

7th Place: Fabio Dagata ($2,403)

Fabio Dagata has been eliminated when his [8h][5h] failed to improve against his opponent's [Ac][Qd].  The final board read [Ts][4s][Kh][Tc][Td], and Fabio headed to the cage to collect $2,403 for his 7th place finish.

Raj Patel doubles through Fabio Dagata

Fabio Dagata (left) watches in disgust as he is sucked out on by Raj Patel (right)

Raj Patel was all in preflop holding [Ac][Qs] and was up against the [Ah][Ks] of Fabio Dagata.  Fabio was in good shape to eliminate his opponent, but the [6h][Qc][7s] changed all of that.  Raj took the lead with a pair of queens, and they held through the [5s] turn and [9d] river.  Raj will double up to over 600,000, while Fabio was knocked down to around 200,000.

8th Place: Richard Kantor ($1,912)

Richard Kantor moved all in preflop holding [Ad][Jh] and was called by Jeremy Perez holding [Ac][Kh].  Again, Richard only slightly had Jeremy covered and would be crippled if he lost.  This time the best hand held up as the board ran out [5d][7d][8s][8h][4c], and Jeremy doubled up.

Down to a little more than a big blind, Richard was all in the next hand and Jose Pereira moved all in over the top.  Fabio Dagata thought for some time on the button, but ultimately folded along with the blinds.  Richard held [9h][9c] but was up against Jose's [Qs][Qd].  Richard could not find a nine on the [4d][5s][3h][Kh][5c] board, and he will exit this tournament in 8th place, good for $1,912.

Tom Dobrilovic doubles through Steven Weeks

Tom Dobrilovic was all in preflop holding [Ac][Qh] and was up against the [Ad][Kd] of Steven Weeks.  Steven barely had Tom covered, so if a queen spiked, he would be crippled.  Much to Steven's dismay, that's exactly what happened as the flop fell [Qs][Th][Ts].  Steven would need a jack or a king to survive, but the [4h] turn and [2s] river failed to deliver.  Tom will double up to 240,000, while Steven was knocked down to a just a couple of big blinds.

9th Place: Eric Siegel ($1,534)

Eric Siegel moved all in preflop and Richard Kantor moved all in over the top.  The rest of the table folded, and the two showed their hands:

Eric [Ah][9d]
Richard [Ad][Ks]

The [7c][8d][4d] flop kept Richard in front, and the [3d] turn meant Eric was drawing to three outs.  The [Kd] hit the river to give Richard the nut flush, and Eric will be eliminated in 9th place.  He will earn $1,534 for his efforts.

10th Place: Mark Dube ($1,201)

Mark Dube was all in preflop holding [Jc][8h] and was up against the dominating [Ah][Js].  The board ran out [9s][4s][Qc][Kd][Qd] to send Mark to the rail in 10th place, good for $1,201.

10th Place: $1,201

Final table reached

On a [5s][Qs][4s] flop, Dominick Pelli was all in holding [Qd][Js] and was up against his opponent's [Kd][Qc].  Dominick was in need of a jack or a spade to survive, but the [7h] turn and [3c] river failed to deliver one of his outs.  Dominick will exit this tournament in 11th place for $1,201, and the remaining 10 are now redrawing for seats at the final table.

Mark Dube wins a monster pot

Fabio Dagata raised preflop and Mark Dube called on the button.  The flop fell [8s][2s][9d] and Fabio check called a 16,000 bet from Mark.  The two saw a [Tc] turn and again Fabio check called a bet, this time for 35,000.  When the river fell the [4h], Fabio checked for a  third time.  This time Mark made a big bet of 100,000, which Fabio ended up calling.  Mark flipped over [Qc][Jc] for the nuts, and will scoop a huge pot with one left to go until the final table.
