Event 21 - Final Table - Player Down!
1 year ago
An interesting level played out with several twists and turns as the remaining players home in on the bracelet.
Here's the news from the floor.
Vamoose Vohra! (OUT -5th)
Vohra has been busted. When Dave Seidman popped it up to $100,000, Vohra moved over the top all-in, only to get called by Seidman.
Vohra tabled a pocket pair of fours and Seidman K
T
. Flip for stacks guys!
A King on the flop fired Seidman into the lead and when no four spiked on the turn and river, Seidman was left to rake in the pot whilst Rajesh Vohra is OUT, eliminated in 5th spot for $195,606.
Bullet-proof Fernandez
Short stack Fernandez has been doing his best to get himself into contention pushing in whenever he can.
On the occasions he has been looked up, he has hung on to his tournament life with an admirable tenacity.
He shoved once from the small blind with Q-T, only to get instantly called by Sprengers, holding A-K.
He missed a Queen or Ten to pick up the pot that time, but the board made a straight on the river, keeping the final 4 handed. He then went on to win a coin flip, again versus Sprengers, his J
Q
spiking a Jack to pummel Sprengers' Eights and keep him in the hunt for the bracelet.
Super Seiver
The last few rounds have been almost exclusively dominated by Scott Seiver, the relentlessly aggressive player at one point picking up 7 out of 10 hands.
He is making a valiant and accomplished charge for the bracelet at this point.

Event 21 - Day 2 - Someone Seiver Us!
1 year ago
Scott appears to be dominating the final table, raising, re-raising and stacking opponents with no small amount of skill.
His main source of irritation seems to be Dave Seidman, who has refused to be dominated constantly despite his chip deficit, coming over the top of Scott several times.
Sklar Hits The Bar
On man who was unable to stop the Scott Juggernaut, despite his best efforts, was Chuck Sklar.
Chuck popped it up to $80,000 from middle position, only to find Scott calling from the big blind.
The flop came out J
8
5
. Both players checked.
The turn was the 2
, which prompted Seiver to bet out $130,000. Sklar now moved in and was instantly called, Sklar showing down a move in A
K
, whilst Scott turned up an unlikely, and very sneakily played , pair of Aces.
Chuck was drawing dead, so the river Q
did nothing to change things, meaning, Chuck Sklar is OUT, eliminated in 6th place, winning $154,600.
