There were 5 prizes to be won today, Gary T taking out 5th prize followed by Jason T taking 4th. Only 3 players left, Sammy short stacked for the majority of his time on the final table. A few good shoves and some lucky flops saw Sammy creep up in to the top 3. Joining him were Brendan N and Jesse R both pretty evenly stacked.
Sammy short stacked shoves with K 10. Jesse calls with 9 5. Flop shows 6
4 8. Jesse looking for a gut shot. Q on the turn then a 6. Sammy wins with a pair of 6, K kicker.
Sammy's stack increases somewhat but as the tourney progresses the chips are slowly diminishing with increasing blinds and antes.
Another shove by Sammy sees Jesse call again. This time Sammy has A 6 off against Jesse's J 2 suited. Cards come to the middle of the table. 7 A 3. Pair for Sammy so far, no chance of a flush. 5 on the turn and a 4 on the river. Sammy's luck still with him as he wins this one with a straight 3-7. The stacks are yo-yoing between Sammy and Jesse while Brendan is playing it cool.
Into round 18 at this point and Jesse has opted to go all in pre flop with A 8 off. Brendan calls with A 4 off. 10 K Q, turn 10. Could it be a split pot? No! An 8 on the river gives Jesse 2 pair and a boost in chips. This could be the boost Jesse needs.
A lot of shoving going on, Sammy again with A 7 suited. Jesse cant help but call with A 2. Board has 7 6 9 6 4. Pair for Sammy and increases his stack.
Round 19, shove by Brendan with a dominant hand J 10 - an easy call by Jesse with pocket 4s. Flop 6 8 2 turn Q river to be an A. Jesse sends Brendan packing, placing 3rd with a pair of 4s.
Next hand heads up, Sammy and Jesse. Sammy has done extremely well to get to where he is, starting the final table with 9K. Jesse goes all in with an A 2 suited only to be called by Sammy with 10 7. Flop is 8 3 3. Turn J and river Q. Jesse wins the tourney with an A high flush! Congratulations Jesse and the top 5 players.
