Hot Poker for this Freeze-Out!

dunedin casino thursday tournament freeze-out


Tonight was a $60 Freeze-out Tournament. No rebuys, no addons, no re-entries.

With 26 entries, it was nearly 1am before the tournament wrapped up with a prize pool of $1300 divided among the final four players.

Tumua I. finished in fourth, when an all-in with J9 was beaten by Eva. A pair of K were on the board but Eva had the higher kicker. The final three were Bryn N. Eva L. and Sammy C. with both Bryn and Eva trying to knock Sammy from chip leader.

For a while it was difficult going. Eva calling Sammy's all-in with KK but unfortunately Sammy had flopped the straight. A few hands later it was returned when Sammy called Eva's all in but this time Eva had the better hand with two-pair.

Bryn wasn't going to give up easily either. Calling Eva's all-in pre-flop with A2 he unfortunately lost to K8, when the cards came out K4QQJ. Though he did manage to get one over on Sammy a few hands later with two pair 10's and 8's over Sammy's 10's and 6's, and another all-in later on achieving a straight on the river.

Eventually though, someone had to be third and that was Bryn when Eva had the higher kicker. Then a short while later Sammy finally managed to defeat Eva with JJ while Eva had 89 suited. A's on the flop ensured Sammy's victory and the flush didn't quite come through for Eva.
