Event 21 - Final Table!
1 year ago
Those players fortunate enough to make it through to the final table have reconvened to do battle across the felt as the $5,000 NLHE event plays out till we have our bracelet winner.
We haven't been playing for long, but already blood has been spilled.
Here's the latest action.
Great Scott! (Freeman OUT - 9th)
The chip leader Scott Seiver was like a juggernaut yesterday and he wasted little time getting involved today, re-raising Scott Freeman's initial $41,000 raise to $120,000.
The rest of the table ducked out of the way, back to Freeman, who announced ALL-IN for his $450,000 stack!
Seiver could not have called faster, his chips ripping across the felt as he tabled pocket Queens.
Freeman turned over A
K
and a big coin flip was brewing between the two Scotts.
The flop was a doozy, rolling out 7
8
6
to give Freeman a flush draw to go with his overcards. Seiver tilted his head back and laughed heartily at this amazing turn of events.
The turn fell the 5
, introducing some board split outs into the equation. Any nine or four would split it, or an Ace, King or diamond on the river would win it for Freeman.
It came...the 7
!
This blank meant Seiver won out over Freeman in the battle of the Scotts and Scott Freeman is our first player eliminated, OUT in 9th spot, winning $68,714.![]()
Not-So-Hot Scott!
Before this hand Seiver was already the overwhelming chip leader, and this hand merely served to strengthen his advantage.
