Eliakis, Huard hit the rail

2015/03/04 3:48am by Playground Poker
Tournament: Event 5 - $60 Freeze ($50 + $10 NL Hold'em)

John Eliakis open-shoved from the button with 10 big blinds, but found himself in trouble when Malik Lefty made the call.

John: 5 of Diamonds 5 of Spades

Malik: Queen of Spades Queen of Clubs

With no help on the board of King of Clubs 9 of Spades 4 of Diamonds 6 of Clubs 4 of Clubs, John’s run ended in 4th place.

Linda Huard was the next player eliminated, as her stack dwindled down to just a few big blinds before she moved in 8 of Spades 4 of Diamonds, only to lose versus Rejean’s King of Diamonds 7 of Spades on the King of Hearts 9 of Spades 3 of Diamonds 8 of Clubs Jack of Hearts board.

Larocque, Mackay and Barbeau make their exit

2015/03/04 3:24am by Playground Poker
Tournament: Event 5 - $60 Freeze ($50 + $10 NL Hold'em)

In a three-way all-in, Charles Larocque saw all his chips vanish as his 7 of Hearts 7 of Clubs fell to John Eliakis’ 9 of Hearts 9 of Diamonds on a board of 8 of Diamonds 7 of Diamonds 5 of Diamonds 9 of Spades 5 of Hearts board. Daniel Mackay was also crippled in the hand, having been the original raiser with Ace of Hearts Jack of Clubs.

Shortly after, Daniel found himself on the losing end of a flip, as his 4 of Hearts 4 of Clubs were counterfeit by Ace of Clubs Queen of Hearts on a King of Diamonds 5 of Diamonds 6 of Spades King of Spades 5 of Spades board.

With only 4 big blinds to his name, Christian Barbeau moved in from middle position, and was called by Malik Lefty on the button. Rejean Grenier then moved in over the top, and Malik tanked for a moment before committing the chips.

Christian: 10 of Diamonds 5 of Clubs

Malik: 9 of Spades 9 of Diamonds

Rejean: King of Clubs King of Diamonds

Rejean won the 800,000+ pot, as his kings held on the Ace of Hearts 10 of Clubs 7 of Clubs Queen of Spades 7 of Diamonds board, eliminating Christian in the process, and putting a dent in Malik’s former chip-lead stack.

Iacovella, Brosseau eliminated

2015/03/04 2:44am by Playground Poker
Tournament: Event 5 - $60 Freeze ($50 + $10 NL Hold'em)

There is no lack of action on this final table of Event 5, as we’ve seen chips fly from one end to the other. Rejean Grenier came here to play, and moved in 3 times in the first 5 hands. On the third all-in, he found a call from Malik Lefty, and won a flip with pocket tens versus AJ.

Moments later, we saw a 4-way limped pot, where Marcello Iacovella moved in first to act on the 6 of Spades 5 of Spades 4 of Hearts flop. Linda Huard instantly moved in over the top, and tabled 5 of Clubs 5 of Hearts once the others folded. Marcello needed a miracle to win with his Queen of Diamonds 6 of Clubs, but found no help with the running 8 of Hearts and 3 of Clubs.

Not long after, Denis Brosseau fell to the hands of John Eliakis, as his 10 of Diamonds Jack of Diamonds was second best to John’s Ace of Diamonds 6 of Spades.

Malik then found his revenge versus Rejean, running a straight with 10 of Hearts Jack of Clubs versus Ace of Hearts Jack of Spades.

10th place: Marcello Iacovella – $120
