Of the 20 who entered, it came down to four placings for the cash: Fraser, Andy, Tumua and Martin.
The game stood still for around 30 minutes until the final four hands.
In 4th place was Martin, who went head to head with the other big stack, Fraser. KQ vs 77. The community cards came out, A-2-3-5-J. The pair of 7's was strong enough for Fraser, the chip count was very close but Martin was just covered. A nice effort for his 1st attempt at one of our tournys.
The very next hand, the field shortened again! This time Andy gets involved with his 99. Sadly he was up against bullets. 2-K-6-T-T, no 9 but Andy still took home a nice 3rd.
The next deal caused another pre-flop all-in. Tumua pushed with KQ and got called by 52. Tumua hit his Queen on the flop but still had to dodge an open-ender by the river to secure the pot, but the Q held and he managed to double up his small stack.
The very next hand, both players all-in again! This time a fairer race, Tumua with 44 vs Fraser with 97. The cards came out 9-3-J-5-8. Fraser managed to hit his 9 on the flop and it held. Another 1st timer to our tournaments, nice hit rate!
