Players |
The last three
players readjusted the payouts to better reflect their respective chip counts.
With the money locked up, Phil 'Flash' Gordon still wanted that bracelet. As a
horse for world champion Chris Ferguson, Phil's style couldn't be less similar
to Chris'. Seldom does Gordon see four cards he doesn't like enough to bet.
Playing more hands than anyone else causes Phil's chips to fluctuate wildly. If
he starts to run bad, it can end quickly. Phil was third in chips when the deal
was made with $92k. All those chips were gone in about half an hour. Gordon
went all-in with A K J 6. Shrugging, Eddie Fishman gave Phil some action with
10 3 2 2. This wasn't the way it was supposed to end. Phil lost to Eddie's pair
of deuces with no pair, and to the 3 2 low with his A 6.
Doug Saab and
Eddie Fishman split a one-table satellite to get into this event. Each might
have said upon parting 'See you at the Final Table,' never thinking that they
would not only both make it, but that they would be playing heads up for the
bracelet as well. Fishman won through after having fun at the dinner break by
switching places with his identical twin. Lucky they had different shirts
on. |
