Tournament of Champions Results
The game started out unlike many of the others we have had. This time there were more chips at the start and no rebuys allowed. Two of the more experienced players in tournaments were expecting to see many players lose quickly and leave, but that was not the case. During the fist hour we normally see 50% or more of the players lose all of their chips and have to rebuy. In this game not a single player went out before the first break.
The first casualty was David, coming off a string of money wins, he was eliminated when his pocket jacks ran into pocket aces early in the third blind level. During that level we soon saw 3 more players eliminated and then another at the beginning of the next level. With 11 players left the game slowed down a little as everyone wanted to make it to the final table. At the beginning of the next level we lost Joe, the first of our undefeated players to drop out. Over the next few hands we lost 2 more players and were down to the final 8.
At the final table the play went slowly at first with many lead changes. Adam started out as the chip leader, but quickly lost it when he played a poor hand to double up Hamlet on the short stack. Josh had the lead at this point but it didn't last for long, since Hamlet won a few more key hands and taking the lead meanwhile moving Adam down to a short stack. The final table went for nearly an hour before Justin fell to Hamlets growing chip count. Jeff was the next to lose once again to Hamlet. Adam then on the short stack was forced all in with a little more then the big blind. Called by Rich and Hamlet. Rich moved all in after the flop with ATs and was called after a long deliberation by Hamlet with JJ. Meanwhile Adam had A3 and caught a 3 on the turn to triple up while Hamlets Jacks held up to eliminate Rich, the second undefeated player to leave, in 6th Place.
With 5 Players left everyone wanted to make the money. Josh made a strong raise to 8000 with the blinds at 2000, Adam then went all in with a little more then 10,000 chips and was called by Hamlet and then Josh. They checked it down to the river where Adam revealed pocket Aces for the win and the chip lead. Josh, as the final undefeated player, with only wins previously lasted for another round as the short stack before being eliminated by Adam. With the big blind at 3000 Kevin was forced to play for his last 3200 chips from the big blind out surviving as a short stack for over an hour. With all three remaining players calling him, we was able to quadruple up when he caught a straight.
Kevin continued to grow his stack and soon Hamlet was all in as the short stack and eliminated by Adam, taking 4th place. The next hand Glenn went to steal the blinds by moving all in and Adam called with a pocket pair. The pair held up and Glenn took home 3rd. Heads up play went on for half almost half an hour between Kevin and Adam, with the chips shifting back and forth. Kevin was eliminated after being short stacked on the previous hand. Giving Adam the win and the championship.
So after 5 hours of play a Champion was crowned. I look foward to reading about how everyone felt the tournament was run and what changes they would like to see in the future. Please post you comments here.
