After seven long days of poker, the World Poker Tour has crowned its newest champion; Jared Mahoney. Mahoney beat three-time WPT finalist Darryll Fish heads up after a gruelling final table that lasted nearly 10 heures.
Comme c'est une coutume sur le World Poker Tour, la table finale a débuté avec six espoirs en lice pour le prestigieux titre WPT, une montre océanographique Hublot et leur nom gravé sur la Champions Cup. Pour cet événement à Montréal, Playground Poker added their special Championship belt, and the 697 total entries created a first-place prize of CAD $453,122 that also includes a US $15,400 seat into the WPT Tournament of Champions.
Le seul membre restant du Champions Club était le chipleader Brian Altman, qui a connu un début difficile. Lors de la douzième main, Carter Swidler a doublé grâce à Altman avec un as-roi assorti contre un roi-valet de carreau. Swidler avait floppé une paire d'as et avait réussi à tenir le coup lorsque l'argent est entré au turn contre le tirage couleur d'Altman.
exactement 12 hands after Swidler doubled up, it was AJ Gambino who hit the rail in sixth place. Gambino ended up all in with pocket nines against Darryll Fish’s ace-queen, and the flop gave Fish a pair of aces right away. Gambino collected CAD $87,520 for his deep run, and Fish moved into second place.
Two hands later Fish grabbed the chip lead, and over the course of the final table no less than four players would be in pole position. Kempe and Altman fought out some ferocious battles, and the latter even managed to five-bet shove on his opponent without getting called. Altman showed the four of clubs after Kempe folded, and raked in 1.3 million chips without seeing a flop.
Après avoir reçu un coup d'Altman, Kempe a doublé quelques mains plus tard grâce à Mahoney. Kempe a mis ses jetons avec une paire de neuf sur un flop de sept contre sept contre Mahoney. La main de Kempe s’est levée et Mahoney est resté très court. L'éventuel champion a commencé son retour avec un doublé grâce à Altman, juste avant que Swidler ne sorte à la cinquième place.
Swidler called all in from the big blind when Altman shoved on him from the small, and the all-in player tabled ace-nine suited. Altman held jack-ten of spades and managed to hit a jack on both the turn and river to secure the knockout. Swidler took home CAD $108,410 for his fifth-place finish, the biggest live tournament result of his poker career.
Votre 75th hand of final table play marked Altman’s eclipse of the 10-million-chip mark, but shortly after that, his decline started. First it was Mahoney who doubled through him again, followed by Kempe doubling through the Champions Club member.
Kempe raised under the gun to 300,000, Altman three-bet to 775,000 on the button and Kempe made it 1,875,000 to go. After tanking for nearly two minutes Altman moved all in and Kempe snap-called for 5.8 million total holding pocket queens. Altman’s ace-queen did not improve and Kempe now held more than half the chips in play.
Le tapis d'Altman a été décimé par Mahoney lorsque le vainqueur a de nouveau doublé grâce à lui. Cette fois, Altman a eu un tirage couleur contre la top paire de Mahoney, et ni le tournant ni la rivière n'ont changé le résultat de la main.
Votre 100th hand of the final table spelled the end for Altman, who shoved jack-five from the small blind for his last nine big blinds, only to get called by Mahoney’s king-six. Altman caught nothing on the board and he exited in fourth place for CAD $144,780.
Fish started three-handed play as the short stack, but after a 59-hand battle between the final three, he went into play heads-up for the title as the chip leader. Three-handed play went back and forth and saw many lead changes, but ultimately it was Kempe who was sent to the rail in third place.
Kempe shoved holding nine-seven suited after Mahoney raised, and the initial raiser called with ace-six of clubs. Kempe flopped top two pair, but Mahoney turned a flush to send Kempe to the payout desk to collect CAD $195,940.
Fish started with 11,150,000 versus Mahoney’s 9,700,000, et après 50 hands of relatively small pots, ce fut un gros affrontement final qui a fermé le croupier pour Mahoney. Mahoney a été poussé à trois reprises par Fish, qui avait As-Deux, et l'As-Roi de Mahoney s'est avéré être victorieux.
