Event 13 Champion: David Bolduc Hamel

2015/03/10 2:52am by Playground Poker
Tournament: Event 13 - 6-Max ($150 + $15 NL Hold'em)

David Bolduc Hamel went on a run in the last few levels, and used this momentum to propel himself into 1st place! Heads-up with opponent Harley Stoffmaker only lasted a few orbits, and on the last hand, it was David and his Ace of Spades Jack of Clubs that were the favorite against Harley’s King of Diamonds 2 of Hearts. The board gave a bit of a sweat for both players, but inevitably David’s pair of jacks were good on the Jack of Hearts 5 of Spades Queen of Spades 10 of Diamonds 7 of Hearts board.

David took home a $4,500 prize for his victory. Congratulations!

Boulahfa 5th, Caron 4th, Hamaoui 3rd

2015/03/10 2:34am by Playground Poker
Tournament: Event 13 - 6-Max ($150 + $15 NL Hold'em)

David Bolduc Hamel is on a roll on this final table, and just scored his second knockout. He opened to 70,000 form UTG, and was put to the test by an all-in of 337,000 from Nacime Boulahfa from the button. After a minute in the tank, David made the call.

David: Ace of Diamonds Jack of Clubs

Nacime: King of Clubs 10 of Clubs

It started off well for Nacime, as he flopped two pair, but David caught up with a straight on the King of Spades 6 of Hearts 10 of Hearts Queen of Spades 5 of Diamonds board

Moments later, Jean-Philippe Caron moved in his short stack, and Harley made the call, committed by the big blind.

Jean-Philippe: Ace of Spades 3 of Spades

Harley: 10 of Hearts 2 of Diamonds

Board: 6 of Clubs 7 of Diamonds 9 of Hearts 8 of Clubs Ace of Clubs

Harley’s straight was good enough to bring us down to three players. However another casualty occurred on the next hand, as Adam Hamaoui moved in for his last 275,000 from the small blind, and was called by David in the big blind.

Adam: King of Hearts Jack of Clubs

David: Ace of Hearts King of Clubs

They both paired the board, but David’s pair of aces was best on the Jack of Spades 2 of Spades 8 of Spades Ace of Diamonds 4 of Hearts board.

5th place: Nacime Boulahfa – $1,400

Iacovella exits in 6th

2015/03/10 1:58am by Playground Poker
Tournament: Event 13 - 6-Max ($150 + $15 NL Hold'em)

David Bolduc Hamel opened to 35,000 from the cutoff, and was followed by Marcello Iacovella on the button. Harley Stoffmaker then 3bet to 75,000 from the small blind, which both players called.

Harley checked the 3 of Hearts King of Hearts 10 of Spades flop, leaving the door open for David, who fired 125,000. Marcello announced an all-in for a little more, and Harley folded. David snapped, and turned over a flopped set with 3 of Spades 3 of Clubs. Marcello and his Queen of Diamonds Jack of Hearts wasn’t drawing dead, until the turn King of Clubs paired the board, sealing the deal.

6th place: Marcello Iacovella – $1,075

Main Event Champion: Sergio Vigano

2015/03/09 9:50pm by Playground Poker
Tournament: Event 9 - Main Event ($1000 + $100 NL Hold'em)

After only a few minutes of heads-up play between Sergio Vigano and Hugo Fontaine, we saw a hand develop that lead to a champion being crowned. Sergio Vigano opened to 900,000 on the button, and was 3bet by Hugo to 1,600,000. He then moved all-in, and was found a quick call.

Hugo tabled his lucky pair of 3 of Hearts 3 of Spades, which had at two occasions in this tournament won him a huge pot. This time however, the pair of 3s was not so lucky, as it came second best to Sergio’s Ace of Spades King of Diamonds on a board showing King of Clubs 10 of Clubs 7 of Hearts Ace of Hearts 2 of Clubs.

With that hand, Sergio claimed the victory in this Main Event of the Playground Winter Festival, taking home a sweet $86,640 prize!

Congratulations!
