Cheng Dong Wins Event #2 - $300 NLH Big Stack ($17,684)
 |
| Cheng Dong (center) - 1st Place - $17,684 |
In a final chop deal, Marty Salowitz would take $15,000 for 2nd place, and Dong would take the remaining $17,684. Dong had a two-to-one chip lead, and because of that Salowitz agreed to let Dong take the trophy with him when he moves to China next week.
Congrats to Dong, and best of luck in your new life adventure!

 |

Unfortunately for Drury, the [8c] on the river is of no help, and he is eliminated in 4th place.

"Ace jack?" Dong asks Salowitz.
"I didn't say what I had, but ace jack is a logical deduction," Salowitz replies.

Bubble Burst in Event #2 ($300 NLH BIG STACK) in Series of Two Hands
Robyn Fisk had just doubled up that last hand after being all in blind in the small blind. Her and the player on the button ended up chopping the pot to keep her alive.
For the official bubble to burst, two players would need to be eliminated.
In two different hands at two different tables, those two players were lost.
Hand #1:
Jonathan Troisi raises to 40,000 from under the gun. The player in the cutoff calls, and Robyn Fisk shoves all in on the button for less than 10,000. The player in the small blind raises to 100,000. With action back on on Troisi, he reraises to 350,000. The cutoff folds, and the player in the small blind goes into the tank. After a few minutes of thinking, Troisi calls the clock on the player. After 30 seconds pass, the player folds [qh][qs] face up.
Troisi says to the player, "Nice fold," as he turns over his cards to show [ac][as]. Fisk would need some help holding [10d][10h].
The flop comes [ad][10d][4d], giving Troisi a set, but also giving Fisk the flush draw. She calls aloud for a diamond. But it's the [9c] that comes on the turn, and the [js] on the river.
Fisk is eliminated from play, and Troisi is sitting just over 800,000, seemingly the chip leader of the tournament.
Hand #2:
The player in the cutoff shoves all in for 130,000. Sean Carlson asks for a count on the button. Upon hearing the total, he shoves all in over the top. All remaining players fold, and the following hands are tabled:
Carlson: [7h][7c]
Middle Position: [as][kh]
The flop comes [8d][6c][4c], leaving Carlson in the lead. But the [ac] on the turn gives the lead to his opponent. Carlson needs to improve or his opponent will double up.
The [3c] on the river would give Carlson a flush, and send his opponent to the rail.
All remaining players are now in the money and guaranteed at least $588.

Mike Clemente Eliminted By Joe Cherico in Event #2 ($300 NLH Big Stack)
Mike Clemente has shoved all in from the big blind, and Joe Cherico is contemplating the call from the hijack. After a minute of thinking, Cherico throws in the 22,000 to call.
Clemente: [as][kd]
Cherico: [ks][qh]
When the flop comes [10s][qs][4s], Cherico takes the lead with his pair of queens, but Clemente has the nut flush draw holding the ace of spades.
Unfortunately for Clemente the [6d] turn, and [10c] river do not improve his hand, and he is sent to the rail.
Before walking away Clemente shakes Cherico's hand.
"I'm sorry," Cherico says to Clemente.
"Don't be sorry, that's poker," Clemente responds genuinely.

Royal Flush for J'Quan Colton in Event #3 - $250 Omaha Hi-Lo 8+
On a board reading [as][jd][10d][ad], a player in middle position bets 1,000, Greg Joshephson raises to 2,000 in the hijack, and J'Quan Colton reraises to 3,000 in the cutoff. Both players call.
It checks around to Colton when the [8c] comes on the river, and he bets 3,000. Both the player in middle position as well as Josephson call, and the players table the following hands:
Middle Position: [ah][10c][2c][6c] (full house)
Josephson: [ac][10h][4h][3s] (full house)
Colton: [kd][qd][4d][2d] (Royal Flush)
The player in middle position says, "We had to call there, neither of us were thinking about the Royal Flush possibility."
Colton is now sitting with nearly 25,000, and Josephson is left extremely short with around 1,500.

Greg "Cowboy" Josephson Doubles in Event #3 - $250 Omaha Hi-Lo 8+
With blinds at 250/500, and a board reading [ad][8d][8h], a player in the small blind bets 500, the player under the gun calls, and Greg Josephson raises to 1,000 in the cutoff. Both players call.
It again checks around to Josephson when the [5s] comes on the turn, who shoves all in for 525 total. The small blind calls and the following hands are tabled:
Small Blind: [kd][5d][4d][jh]
Josephson: [8c][5c][4h][2c]
"I am drawing dead," the player in the small blind announces as the [4c] comes on the the river.
Josephson is awarded more than a full double.
Aces vs. Queens Ends in Chopped Pot - Event #2 $300 NLH Big Stack
After a preflop betting war, Chris Blake is all in holding [ah][ac], and has been called by Kevin Bagley holding [qs][qd].
The [qc][js][9d] flop is just what Bagley needs to put him into the lead with a set of queens.
The [8s] comes on the turn giving Blake chop outs. He will need an ace to hit his set, or a ten for a straight to chop.
When the [10h] comes on the river, Blake is visibly relieved to chop the pot as both players are now playing the straight on the board. Bagley on the other hand sighs out loud, and is less than pleased to chop after having flopped so far ahead of his opponent.
Kevin Bagley - 46,000
Chris Blake - 31,000

The General Triples Right Before End of Rebuy Period
The infamous "General" is all in from the big blind against two other players at the table (one in middle position that has everyone covered), and the small blind who has the least amount of chips.
Small Blind: [kh][8s]
The General (Big Blind): [9c][10d]
Middle Position: [ah][kc]
The General calls for a nine or a ten, just as the dealer deals out the [jh][9s][7h] flop.
The [5s] turn and [jd] river are safe, and The General triples up, sending the player in the small blind to the rail.
"I was just trying to rebuy," General said as he started to stack his chips.
A break is now commencing, and players wishing to buy in or rebuy will have through this fifteen break to do so.

In Event #3 with blinds at 75/150 (limit 150/300) , we recently found Perry involved in a hand with five limpers to see the [kc][5s][4s] flop. It checks around to the player in the hijack who bets 150. All four players call. When the [6c] comes on the turn it checks around to the player on the button who bets 300. Perry calls, as do the hijack and the cutoff.
When the [ad] comes on the river, Perry leads out for 300. Only the player on the button calls.
Perry tables [2c][3c][4c][7h] to scoop the pot. He is now sitting with just around 15,000 in chips

The player in middle position checks the [2s] turn, as does Pautler, and the hijack bets 6,500. Only Pautler calls.

Pautler turns over [ah][qh]. Her opponent again pauses before eventually mucking his cards face down.
While Pautler is stacking her chips, Ralph Macri says, "I folded pocket fives. Now I wish I had played them."
Kathleen Pautler - 31,000

1st Place: Marsel Backa ($65,191)
Marsel Backa and Long Tran made a deal to chop 1st and 2nd place money as they are friends. After a few hands of raising and re-raising, the two finally got it in. Marsel had said that he had looked at one card as he revealed his [Kc][Jh], and Long hadn't looked as he flipped over his first card, the [Ac]. His second card was the [9s], so he was in good shape to double up. Marsel said he'd win the pot for sure, and the [2d][9h][Ks] put his king jack in front. The [7d] turn changed nothing, and the [Tc] river meant Long Tran would exit the tournament in 2nd place, good for $65,191.
Marsel Backa has won the $1,650 Championship Event, taking home $65,191, the trophy, and the title. Congratulations, Marsel!
3rd Place: Tou Kue ($32,554)
Long Tran folded the button and Marsel Backa limped the small blind. Tou Kue moved all in from the big blind, and Marsel snap called.
Marsel [Qd][Js]
Tou [Ad][Kd]
Marsel was 33% to eliminate his opponent, and the [2c][Td][Qh] flop meant Tou was in bad shape. Tou asked the dealer to give his opponent two pair, but instead the [Ac] hit the turn to give Tou top pair. Marsel asked for a king on the river, but instead the [Qs] fell, which was good enough to earn Marsel the KO. Tou will exit the tournament in 3rd place, collecting $32,554 for his efforts.
Update chip counts on break
Long Tran - 2,300,000
Marsel Backa - 3,900,000
Tou Kue - 465,000
Here are the prizes left to play for:
1st Place: $79,906
2nd Place: $50,476
3rd Place: $32,554
Marsel Backa - 3,900,000
Tou Kue - 465,000
Here are the prizes left to play for:
1st Place: $79,906
2nd Place: $50,476
3rd Place: $32,554
Marsel Backa cripples Tou Kue
All three players saw a [Ah][9c][8c] flop, and Tou Kue raised after a bet and a call. Tou Kue folded but Marsel Backa made the call. The turn brought the [4h], and Marsel check-called a 220,000 bet from Tou. When the [Qd] hit the river, Marsel lead out for 700,000, almost all of Tou's stack. Tou went into the tank, but eventually called and saw the bad news. Marsel had rivered the nuts with [Jh][Td]. Tou mucked his hand, saying, "You got so lucky."
4th Place: Ralph Macri ($26,306)
Ralph Macri was all in preflop [7h][7c] and was up against Marsel Backa's [Ks][Js]. The [Jc][6c][2c] gave Marsel top pair, but Ralph had set and flush outs. The [Kd] turn changed nothing, and the [Qs] river meant Ralph would exit this tournament in 4th place. Ralph will collect $26,306 for his efforts.
5th Place: Samantha Cohen ($19,730)
Samantha Cohen was all in preflop holding [As][Jd] and was called by Long Tran holding [2s][2h]. The board ran out [3d][5d][6c][8s][Qh], and Samantha will finish this tournament in 5th place. She will collect $19,730 for her efforts.
Tou Kue wins a pot off of Samantha Cohen
At 10,000/20,000 blinds with a 3,000 ante, Tou Kue opened the pot to 45,000 and Samantha Cohen made the call on the button. The blinds folded, and the two saw a [6d][2h][5s]. Things got interesting really fast, as Tou's 60,000 bet got raised to 160,000, and then Tou three-bet to 300,000. Samantha made the call, and the [9d] turn curiously brought a check from Tou. Samantha bet 350,000, only to be met with an all in by Tou. Samantha took her time before folding, and Tou took down a nice pot and now sits on almost 1,900,000. After the hand, Marsel Backa gave Tou props for the play, which he said he doesn't normally do.
6th Place: Jeffrey Yanchek ($15,784)
Jeffrey Yanchek opened the pot before being three-bet by Marsel Backa. Jeffrey made the call, and then check-called the [Qh][4d][Qc] flop. The [9h] brought another check by Jeffrey, and Marsel bet 80,000. Jeffrey check-raised to 215,000, and Marsel smooth called to see the [8h] river. Jeffrey moved all in and Marsel snap called, and Jeffrey declared "straight" before seeing Marsel flip over [Qd][4s] for a flopped full house. Jeffrey's jack-ten wouldn't be good enough, and he will be eliminated in 6th place, good for $15,784.
7th Place: Carlo Sciannameo ($12,824)
Carlo Sciannameo was all in preflop holding [5s][5c] against Ralph Macri's [Ts][Td]. The [4s][Ks][3c] flop was no help for Carlo, but the [6d] turn gave him an open ended straight draw. The [8s] just barely missed, eliminating Carlo in 7th place. He will collect $12,824 for his efforts.
