| Surinder tried
to dominate the early play but got very lucky when betting a flop with two
Eights in it. He had a flush draw but Pascal had trips already, the flush came
with pairing the board and Pascal was down to a few chips. |
 |
| First
to exit was the short stacked Pascal liked his Ace-Seven (spades) until Cleary
turned over Ace-Ace. Surinder continues the bluff theme and builds
chips. |
|
| Then
Wolfgang plays all-in with Ace-Ten after being bluffed out of several pots and
running low. Chip called the small bet with 6-3 because of value, Marti also in
the pot. Chip makes trips and WOlfgang is out. |
|
| Surinder had
amassed a good stack when he managed to get Debi all-in, Queen-Queen vs. her
Ace-Ten. She made a Ten-high straight and hurt him. |
| Chip
got into trouble and never really showed promise after passing an Ace-King
pre-flop. Finding a Deuce-Deuce in late position he decided to go for it but
Marti called with J-9. A Jack made Chip third out. |
|
| Surinder got unlucky for the second time when getting all-in
with Ace-Queen against Marti's Ace-Six. The last card was a six. |
|
| Cleary
short stacked fired with Q-2 (hearts). Marti called without threat to himself
and his Ace-Jack found a Jack without needing it. |
|
The
heads-up dual decides who goes into the final.
Debi had only 600 in
chips with the heads up battle but she picked antes a few times and then
doubled her stack three times to go chip leader. A short dual of tight play
slowed the action as they came level but Marti proved the better player when
the forced plays ran out for Debi. Then Marti slowed played Aces nicely to
allow Debi to pair the board and go all-in.
There were some good players
here, especially Surinder who showed you also need luck. Marti is a worthy
winner and could take the final. |
