Spring time has broken out for many of our players. Unless you reside in Canada like four players who made today's $50,000 Battle of Planets monthly triple shootout freeroll final table. Despite a couple of days of "Spring" weather, ice continues to be showing on some lakes with snowbanks prevalent while driving throughout the cities. The drab weather didn't bother a type of Canadians as dthorne04 lead the way during the icy 589 player field to win $12,000.00
Ten minutes before the 2 hour mark the overall initial round table would wind its last hand down. With the blinds at 200/400 ante 25 and Bankyard holding a 5,337 to 5,163 chip lead over Chipsy36, Bankyard would raise from the button to 860 total. Chipsy36 looking down at [Kh][Ts] shoved as Bankyard complied with a decision holding [9d][As]. The flop clobbered with Bankyard's ace [7h][Ad][7d] leaving Chipsy36 to simply a runner-runner straight or trips combo to win. Two kings later [Kd] and [Kc] Chipsy36 would take down the 10,326 chip pot and gather the scraps from the following hand as a stunned Bankyard exited in 82nd place giving our remaining 81 players a minimum of $195.00 each.
34offsuitJR had a thirst for some cash today, finishing off table nine in last than an hour with the aforementioned Chipsy36 happening during heads up play to earn the primary seat on the final table. Canada would continue to fill the table (34offsuitJR) because the North American country took home four of the primary five seats.
Down to 2 tables two players from Hungary (p€troceli and SZERENCSFIA) would duke it out on table four and p€troceli winning the respect to symbolize Hungary on the final table. As Kirill Juma and ross997 would only last one hand longer on table two. With the blinds at 150.300 ante 25 Kirill Juma holding 2,903 chips to ross997's 10,597 would face a bullying button raise to 4,350. With a suited king [Kd][3d] Kirill Juma decided it was go time and called as ross997 showed [Js][Td]. A 10 in the course of the [Qd] [Th] [2h] [8s] [4h] flop was all that was had to commence the overall table below:
Seat 1: dthorne04 (1500 in chips)
Seat 2: ross997 (1500 in chips)
Seat 3: AB Poker 12 (1500 in chips)
Seat 4: p€troceli (1500 in chips)
Seat 5: kanskje123 (1500 in chips)
Seat 6: nickyshu (1500 in chips)
Seat 7: Gabiru01 (1500 in chips)
Seat 8: dirty.brasil (1500 in chips)
Seat 9: 34offsuitJR (1500 in chips)
First in, first out
The 10/20 level would depart quickly because the players usually use this time to feel out their tablemates for a fast chop of the sizable amount of free cash at this table. Instead we'd get two quick eliminations after the blinds moved up. The primary hand of the 15/30 blind level saw 34offsuitJR at the wrong side of a cooler. 34offsuitJR would limp in from middle position as p€troceli made it 90 total as kanskje123 and 34offsuitJR both called. p€troceli led out for 150 at the [2c][8d][As] flop as kanskje123 folded but 34offsuitJR dialed it as much as 450 chips. Holding a collection of eights [8h][8s] p€troceli shoved as 334offsuitJR quickly called with a suite of ducks [2d][2h]. One out became no outs because the [Ac] turn and [4h] river shut down 34offsuitJR finishing in ninth place ($775.00).
Fast start
Just two hands later a second cooler would end someone's Battle of the Planets freeroll. kanskje123 would open to 150 from middle position as Gabiru01 made it 350 from the large blind. kanskje123's aces [As][Ac] went for optimum value by pushing 1,040 chips as Gabiru01 made the decision for less holding jacks [Js][Jc]. An ace within the door [Ah] [4d] [6h] [4s] [2h] and Gabiru01 was not more taking home $1,200.00 in eighth place.
Three-way excitement
Mid-way throughout the 50/100 blind level Gabiru01, nickyshu, and ross997 decided to collect their chips into the center for a 4,730 chip pot. Watch below as aces go down, but no person leaves:
ross997: [5s][5d]
nickyshu: [As][Ah]
Gabiru01: [8h][8d]
Three pairs and ross997 covered the table, however it could be Gabiru01 finding a connection to the [Qd] [8s] [2c] [Qs] [7d] board to say 4,270 chips from the primary pot, as nickyshu stayed alive snagging 460 from the side pot as all seven players hit the five minute break soon afterwards.
Ross erased
After losing the three-way all-in, ross997 never recovered. With the blinds as much as 75/150 dthorne04 open shove from the button as a short-stacked ross997 made the decision for less holding just 935 chips within the small blind. Pocket sevens [7c][7h] for ross997 racing against the [9h][Qd] for dthorne04. It gave the impression of the sevens would hold after a wheel began appearing at the [4d] [2s] [3s] [5h] board. But a [9c] river ended ross997's night in seventh place ($1,700.00).
Rise from cracked aces
The other player who lost in that pivotal three-way hand, nickyshu, made probably the most of these leftover chips received from the cracked aces. After staying within the game, nickyshu got excited by another three-way pot, this time shoving with 745 chips holding big slick [Ad][Kh], slightly greater than AB Poker 12's 725 chip shove with [Ac][7s]. Gabiru01 joined the party calling all bets holding [Qs]. Not needed but, nickyshu connected at the [Ah] [3d] [Kd] [7h] [3s] board to gather 2,365 chips as AB Poker 12 was the odd person out in sixth place ($2,200.00).
COOKIE MONSTER WANTS YOUR CHIPS!
NOM NOM NOM NOM. dthorne04's Cookie Monster avatar went searching for more chips and located some in p€troceli's stack that didn't even have to be dipped in milk. With the blinds holding at 75/150 dthorne04 limped in from the small blind and p€troceli checked the choice to peer a [4s][Ac][Qc] flop. Cookie Monster led out for 155 chips and p€troceli matched it with a choice. [Tc] at the turn and dthorne04 bet again this time for 305 chips as p€troceli made a opt for the pot and shoved for 1,350 chips. Having hit a flush at the turn [8c][3c] dthorne04 quickly called as p€troceli's [7h][Jc] needed another club at the river. [3d] was not it as p€troceli took home $2,735.00 in fifth place.
More chips for the blue one
Cookie monster was not satisfied with only one helping of chips and went searching for more. Because the blinds moved as much as 100/200 dirty.brasil tossed in a shove from the button for 2,170 chips as dthorne04 within the small blind re-shoved for 5,475 chips. nickyshu stayed quiet as dthorne04 showed pocket queens [Qh][Qs] leading dirty.brasil's [6h][Ac]. Despite a six at the door [6s] [Tc] [9c] [5c] [7h] dirty.brasil's stack was cleaned out in fourth place ($3,350.00).
Heads-up in a hurry
On the very next hand dthorne04 would look to make it three eliminations in a row after min-raising from the button and Gabiru01 shoved from the large blind for 1,450 chips total. dthorne04 made the decision with [As][Tc] needing to outrun the [Qs][Jh] of Gabiru01. Top two pair at the [Ad] [Th] [5d] [2s] [4h] board was greater than plenty to knock out Gabiru01 in third place ($4,500.00).
No chat, just business and $12K please
Much just like the entire final table, the chat box stayed dead silent as no speak about chopping up the rest $19,500.00 at the table came into the play. There has been not a large number of time to speak as heads-up play was over in nine minutes flat. Because the blinds moved as much as 125/250 ante 25 and dthorne04 holding a 8,035 to 5,465 chip lead, both players liked the [3d][Td][9c] flop to finish the tournament. Watch below for the conclusion:
Top pair-good kicker [Kc][Ts] for nickyshu was adequate for a three-bet shove. And top two pair [Th][9s] was greater than ok for a choice . Two blanks later [8s] and [4d] dthorne04 walked away with the remainder of nickyshu's chips and $12,000.00 after winning the March Battle of the Planets triple shootout freeroll!
