Season 19 – Event 2

Congratulations to Keithy for taking down the second event of the season. This is Keith’s first win since event 15 of Season 16 and our boy’s been through a lot since then. Welcome back to the top of the leaderboard Keith!

With 20 re-entries there were a lot of chips on the table (1.625m) so even though the blinds were 10k/20k there was still plenty of play remaining when heads-up started. Gary B busted in 3rd place near end of the 10k/20k level leaving new player Scott Najjor with a 3-2 advantage in chips over Keith. The players went back and forth for a while until Keith picked off a bluff by Scott and took a commanding lead, ultimately ending at the 50k/75k level with Keith’s QJhh beating Scott’s K5hh when a Q hit the board.

Keith did have some fun hands along the way: with 19 players remaining he was all-in with 10-10 vs Jonkey’s AA (55k vs 64k stacks) and landed a 10 in the window; later at the final table he got all in with 74cc vs Becky’s 77 and caught a flush; and then with three players remaining Keith was all-in with A-10 vs Gary B’s 10-10 when he spiked an Ace to cripple Gary. Wheeee!!

In 4th place, for the second tournament in a row, was Paul Hopkins. New player Monty came in 5th place, with John B and Becky (another new player!!) coming in 6th and 7th to round out our money winners. With Chris Z taking 10th place that makes four newbies at the final table for this event!!

Final Table:

  1. Keithy
  2. Scott N
  3. Gary B
  4. Paul H
  5. Monty
  6. John B
  7. Becky
  8. Jack
  9. Susan
  10. Chris Z

Farid is just five points back in 4th place with Scott N trailing him by another 15 points.
