We had a modest turnout for the Thursday Freeze-out Tournament tonight with only 14 entries. But with special offer this week of a $1000 guaranteed prize pool, there was still some juicy prizes up for grabs.
We were very quick to make a final table, happening only one hand in after the first break.
The competition was fierce as everyone was targeting Mark N who was in hot pursuit of a Hatrick, however he made it to the top three along with Alex McC and Tumua I.
Tumua was the first to seal his fate; all-in with 10-5(c) up against Alex's A-8. The board was Q-K-9-Q-Q so Alex's A-high played and he upped his chip stack quite nicely.
An all-in win for Alex against Mark gave him a huge chip stack and Mark was left battling. Finally Mark went all-in with K-6, Alex called with K-8. Board was 10-7-10-5-2 and Alex's 2-pair with an 8-kicker won him the tournament (his first win after coming second the last two tournaments).
Congratulations to our winners.
