After seeing Barry double twice to build a stack that could threaten him, the players got it in again on a flop of
. The players both had trips – Barry the
and Amir with
. The turn came
to give Barry some chop outs to the straight – but take away chop outs because of Amir’s better kicker. The
came on the river and it was all over – Amir Babakhani is the 2013 WPT Canadian Spring Champion!
In two stunning hands within minutes of each other Barry has doubled and doubled again to bring his stack to around 8M compared with 13M for Amir.
In the first hand, Barry (who had chipped down to just 2M or a little more) shoved his pocket tens – only to make quads by the river! On the second hand both players flopped pairs but by the river, Barry needed a jack and only a jack to win… and he spiked the to win the pot.
The players are now heads up – Amir Babakhani and Barry Kruger are vying for the WPT Canadian Spring Championship. There’s a load of cash on the table and of course the amazing Championship belt. Blinds have risen to 100K/200K/a25K and though the heads-up portion of the event started with Amir ahead in chips 15.5M to 6.5M, since play began Amir has increased his lead to 18.2M to 4M.
Players are taking a short break as we prepare for heads up action – the tournament will resume shortly.
Jason Duval has been eliminated in 3rd place. He had been short stacked for a while and though he made a run at the beginning of this level, he quickly found himself short again. He got it in with
and was called by Amir’s
. Although the
came on the flop to give Jason many more outs, and the turn
added flush outs, the river
was a blank and Jason is eliminated.
Ace-Queen has been great to Amir tonight, so it wasn’t a huge surprise when he called Barry’s 4-bet shove with
– only to see Barry’s
. Barry kept the lead and doubles to around 8M while Amir drops to just over 11M. Jason is 3rd in chips at the moment with under 3M.
Any A is a playable hand 4-way, and unfortunately for Bobby the
he chose to get it in with was dominated by Jason’s
. Bobby got some more outs when the flop came
but blanks on the turn and river kept Jason out front and Bobby is eliminated in 4th place.
Jason Duval is one of the more accomplished players at this Final Table and after getting extremely short-stacked he’s starting to make a run. First he doubled through Amir to build his stack to around 2.5M and shortly after that he stacked Bobby to build even more. Amir is still way ahead in terms of the count, but now both Jason and Barry have some chips to work with and try and change that situation.
Martin Leblanc has fallen, the second player in a row to lose to Amir’s AQ.
