Fortin can’t win them all

2015/03/02 11:36pm by Playground Poker
Tournament: Event 2 - Escalator ($135 + $15 No Limit Hold'em)

Patrick Fortin was all-in and at risk easily 5 or more times tonight on this final table, and has had an excellent track record thus far, winning them all. In this last hand however, he ended up on the losing end as his Ace of Clubs 8 of Spades failed to improve versus the Jack of Clubs Jack of Diamonds of Yan Fantinato on a 3 of Hearts 3 of Clubs 2 of Hearts 5 of Spades 2 of Diamonds board.

5th place: Patrick Fortin – $1,225

Eddie Daldalian found all of his chips in the middle in a race, as his Ace of Spades King of Hearts was up against Maxime Cyr’s 10 of Hearts 10 of Diamonds. The board brought no help to Eddie, showing 8 of Hearts Queen of Spades 5 of Hearts Queen of Clubs 5 of Clubs, and Eddie was sent home in 6th place.

Pelletier falls in 7th

2015/03/02 9:53pm by Playground Poker
Tournament: Event 2 - Escalator ($135 + $15 No Limit Hold'em)

Yan Fantinato limped from the hijack, which enticed a flat from Andre Pelletier in the small blind, and a check from Eddie Daldalian in the big blind. On a flop of King of Diamonds 2 of Diamonds 6 of Spades, Andre check-raised Yan’s 30,000 bet, and found all his chips in the middle drawing very slim.

Andre: King of Hearts 7 of Hearts

Yan: 2 of Hearts 2 of Spades

The turn 8 of Spades and river 7 of Clubs assured Yan the hand, and Andre finished in 7th.

7th place: Andre Pelletier – $700

Saab finishes in 8th

Tournament: Event 2 - Escalator ($135 + $15 No Limit Hold'em)

Steven Saab found a good hand to move in with, as he pushed his last 93,000 with Jack of Diamonds Jack of Clubs, however Johnny Mazzaferro woke up with a premium in the big blind, and made the call with King of Hearts King of Spades.

Things were looking bleak for Steven, and the board of 6 of Hearts 6 of Diamonds Ace of Diamonds 9 of Clubs 3 of Hearts was of no help to him, ending his run in 8th place.

8th place: Steven Saab – $525

Jennifer Brooks eliminated in 9th

2015/03/02 8:17pm by
Tournament: Event 2 - Escalator ($135 + $15 No Limit Hold'em)

André Pelletier was very short (71.5K) and open shoved from UTG +1. Action folded around to Jennifer Brooks in the Big Blind who was also short – and she very reluctantly called.

Jennifer: 6 of Clubs 6 of Hearts
André: Ace of Diamonds 9 of Clubs

There was no more action and the board ran out 8 of Diamonds 2 of Clubs 8 of Spades Ace of Clubs King of Spades giving André the better hand. And when they counted down Jennifer’s stack to award the pot, she had no more chips left and was eliminated.

9th place: Jennifer Brooks, $400
