Tough Climb to the top for Sammy!
Tonight's tournament had a great turnout and a healthy prize pool of over $700!
23 entrants ensured that the top four players were taking home some of the cash.
Sammy C, Mark N, Stew W and Matt L were the lucky ones to battle it out for the top spots, but Mark was the first to go unfortunately. Stew went all-in pre-flop with AQ and Mark called with pocket 10's. Mark led until the turn when a second A came out a Stew had a pair of aces. The next hand Mark went all in again with his remaining chips, and wasn't strong enough to beat Stew who managed to flop a boat.
Sammy, with a series of all-ins against Stew and Matt managed to increase his stack to chip leader and taking Matt out in the process. Matt went all in pre-flop with 2J and Sam called with 10 6. The flop was K4J, which put Matt in the lead albeit very briefly. A and Q were the turn and river, which meant Sammy now had a straight. One final all-in against Stew sealed the deal for Sammy winning with his A10 and he took out 1st place! What a turn around, well done!
