Daniel Wojcik and Trung Pham chopped the Lodge Championship Collection Half Milly occasion for simply over $100,000 a chunk, however a controversial hand occurred in the course of the action-packed remaining desk.
The $500,000 assured occasion at Texas’ The Lodge Card Membership, a $400 buy-in no-limit maintain’em contest, had over $800,000 within the pot. Sunday’s Day 2 session, livestreamed on the cardboard room’s YouTube channel, performed all the way down to a winner.
The ultimate two gamers agreed to a chop following a heads-up cooler, with Wojcik incomes the trophy and $100,072, whereas the runner-up was paid a slight bit extra at $102,614. Pham was lucky to succeed in heads-up play and wanted to hit a flush within the wildest hand on the remaining desk to get there.
Did Poker Participant Angle Shoot?
5 gamers remained and the blinds have been at 300,000/600,000 when a possible angle shoot occurred. Jose Gutierrez, within the cutoff with Okay♦Q♣, raised it as much as 1,300,000 from his 10,300,000-chip stack. Pham, the chip chief and loosest participant on the desk, defended his massive blind with 6♠3♠.
The flop got here out 10â™ Okayâ™ 4♣, one thing to maintain each gamers . Pham checked his flush draw after which Gutierrez downsized his guess to 800,000 with high pair. That wager was adopted by a check-raise to five,000,000, which put the preflop raiser in a tricky spot as he he would possible be taking part in for his stack if he have been to proceed on within the hand. And that’s when this hand acquired a bit bizarre.
Inside a couple of seconds after Pham raised, Gutierrez gathered up his whole stack and made a fast ahead movement together with his stack earlier than stopping about an inch in need of the betting line.
“And there is the all in second,” commentator Slick Rick stated.
But it surely wasn’t the all in second as Gutierrez hit the brakes on his three-bet after which proceeded to reassemble his stack. A couple of minutes later, he moved all in for actual this time and obtained a snap-call. Gutierrez wanted to dodge a spade to remain alive, however the 7â™ on the flip sealed his destiny. He was out in fifth place for $33,971.
Pham grew to become a large chip chief on the time and would proceed in that spot when heads-up play started. However Wojcik would shut the hole when he picked up pocket aces and coolered pocket kings to earn a full double-up. The gamers then agreed to a chop.
