At the feature table Mike “Gascard” Collins opened 800, Andra Zachow called and Mo Maher reraised to 10k in the blinds. Gascard jammed, Andra jammed and Mo jammed. Mo & Gascard both turned over AQo, Andra AKdd. No Qs, no runner runner runner runner flushes and Andra scooped a huge pot!!! (She then gave 14k of it to the Duckman on the next hand but she said not a factor).
After the 1st break and the end of reg we had 34 left. At the new feature table Shawn o’Brien stayed alive vs Dave Bennett.
Cy Frederick was all in vs the Duckman after the flop A6 vs AT. The 6 on the turn & again on the river greatly improved Cy’s hand for a big pot!
A double for Shawn vs Dave Bennett
In another hand Andra opened 1800 UTG at 400/800. Dave Bennett & Nick Scholz called in the blinds. On a 356 (or something like that) xcc flop Dave led out, Nick called and Andra folded. A Q on the turn and Dave and Nick each were in for another 4K. The river was another Brick and Dave bet 5K, Nick called. Dave showed a 3 for a pair of threes, Nick mucked.
Marv “Duckman” Karlins’ QQ was best sending Todd Rivers to the rail
A double for Cecil Riddle through Mike Ozer
Nick Scholz finished Mike Ozer off
Matt McGinniss’ book reading bluff paid off when his AA was good vs Nick Scholz
But then Matt doubled Austin Fowler
Jim Podwicka’s KK survived with another K on the river after Curtis King flopped a set. Curtis was sent to the rail.
Jim P sent the Duckman packing or is it quacking?
No luck for Ann Arey today. Short stacked, everyone folded to her KK twice, she chopped AK, and she folded a middle pair to a raise & would have flopped a set…. Why do we even play this game???
Final Table!
Cecil was all in on the flop, Jim P called and Andra rejammed. Jim called.
Andra’s set of sevens dominated and Cecil Riddle was out 9th.
homework
Andra’s AK>Don Dean’s A7 to knock Don out 8th
Austin Fowler out 7th (In his defense Dave had heaps).
Cy Frederick was all in for 42,500, Matt called and Andra reraised her monster stack. Matt folded his 55 face up and Andra’s 99 held sending Cy home 6th.
In a huge hand at 3k/5k Andra opened 15k, Jim P jammed 72K, Matty Ice McGinniss jammed his 40k (including his blinds). Andra had AQhh, Jim 99 and Matt A6dd.
Jim hit a full house but Matt hit a straight flush tripling up. Andra started the hand with about 300k++ so Jim ended up close to where he started.
In a painful hand Dave Bennett hit his straight and Dugg Hadden was out 5th.
A double for Matty Ice through Dave Bennett
A double for Jim through Matt!
Matt ran into Jim’s AA and was out 4th
Jim Padwicka was 3rd!
Down to the final two, Andra doubled through Dave Bennett bringing their stacks pretty close in size.
At that point they agreed to a chop! This moves them both up the leaderboard. Over three weeks Andra moved from tied for last (not including drops) to 5th on the season leaderboard! #anyonecanwin
