Final Seating Redraw

The official Final Table will start tomorrow with 9 players on the Feature Table, but the rules of the tournament state that at 10 players there would be a redraw and the players would reconvene on a single table. Therefore, all ten players remaining have taken their places at the secondary table on the floor of Playground Poker Room. When one more player is eliminated today the day will end and the remaining 9 players will return tomorrow at 1pm to play down to a winner.

Balcazar v Linster

Down to two tables and early on there was a huge hand between Henri Balcazar in the small blind and Michael Linster in the big blind. Preflop it folded to Balcazar and he limped, Linster raised and Balcazar re-raised all in. Linster quickly called.

Henri flipper over Ace of Spades King of Hearts which was ahead of Michael’s Ace of Diamonds Queen of Hearts.

The flop of Queen of Clubs 10 of Clubs Ace of Hearts put Michael in the lead, but the turn King of Spades allowed Henri to re-suck and the 8 of Spades on the river was a blank for both players. Michael shipped 1.585M to Henri on the hand.
