Although a few players were vying for a deal 9-handed, the majority of contenders blocked their attempts; it wasn’t until we were down to 3-handed action that a deal was finally made at the beginning of the 6000/12000 level.

‘Unifro’ was the first to exit, after starting the final table with less than 3 BBs.  The cards didn’t fall his way, and just 9 hands into the FT action, he was forced all-in before the cards were dealt. ‘Cheech_Maserati’ woke up to an Ace in the hijack position which improved to 2 pair, thereby eliminating ‘Unifro’, who took 9th place for $1,025.

‘GrayMatter’ was the next player to say goodbye when he jammed 60K / 7.5 BBs.  His shove was quickly called by ace83 from the Big Blind with 77, which won the race vs. ‘GrayMatter’s’  on a board of     .  Gray took $1,425 for 8th place.

Luck Runs Out For Mr. Equity

Approaching, during, and long after the bubble burst, ‘LuckEquity’ was our dominant chip leader.  With 7 players remaining and our new chip leader ROCK64 on the button with almost 60BBs, ‘LuckEquity’ (with 32BBs) 3bets out of the Big Blind vs the Small Blind raise of ‘MikeyCasino’ (40BBs).  Mikey clicks back a four bet and ‘LuckEquity’ five-bets all-in.  MikeyCasino gladly calls with   and ‘LuckEquity’s’   somehow finds a seven in the window.  Before Mikey can throw his cat out the window, the Ks falls on the turn.  ’LuckEquity’ is eliminated in 7th place for $1,950 when he does not find a two-out seven on the river.

‘GirlOnFire’ defends her BB after ‘MikeyCasino’ opens for a min-raise in the cut-off.  She moves in on a flop of   .  The board runs out  , and she makes her exit when her   < MikeyCasino’s  .  She takes home $2,575 for 6th place.

With five players remaining, the chip leader ‘MikeyCasino’ (58BBs) opens UTG for a min-raise.  T-800 3balls his 18BB stack.  Our shortie, ‘Cheech_Maserati’ (14BBs), folds on the button as do both blinds.  It’s a heartbreaker of a flop for T-800 when the Qc falls giving him TPTK and MikeyCasino top set.  The  falls on the turn, once again putting Mikey’s cat on the balcony ledge.  The river comes Ks, giving Mikey’s feline yet another life and knocking T-800 out in 5thplace for $3,250.

MikeyCasino runs his stack up to 82 bigs before his button open is met with a 6.5BB 3b all-in shove from Cheech_Maserati in the small blind.  Cheech is ahead with   vs Mikey’s .  The flop strengthens Cheech’s lead, giving him a pair of kings, but MIkeyCasino instantly turns broadway aka the stone nuts; Cheech is unable to find a three-out ten on the river to chop the pot.  Cheech_Maserati goes out in 4th place and pockets $3,975.

Let’s Make A Deal

Ace83 (31BBs), ROCK64 (45BBs), and MikeyCasino (95BBs) play just one hand in the 6k/12k level before a deal is made.  ROCK64 and ace83 each take home $6,050 and a triumphant MikeyCasino banks $8,050 and the first place finish.
