Event 29 - Final Table - Neckar Takes The Lead!!
1 year ago
The players are now on a 90 minute break for dinner.
This is how the race for the bracelet has played out thusfar.
Johnny Neckar has taken the lead in the heads up as of now. Despite Phan being perhaps more naturally aggressive and taking a chip lead into the heads up contest, Neckar has made very few mistakes and value bet his hands most effectively during the last hout.
The two players are very quiet, Neckar in particular doing nothing but focusing on the cards and sipping his water.
His biggest coup was a recent pot where he bet out $250,000 on the river of a K-J-K-2-3 baord, called by Phan, only for Neckar to show down trip Kings with K
4.

Event 29 - Final Table - Heads Up For The Title!!
1 year ago
And after what has been a lightning fast final table, full of super quick eliminations, we find ourselves heads up for the bracelet!
Here's how that came to pass.
Matt Finish (OUT - 3rd)
Matt Vengrin has been eliminated in third spot, shipping his stack in with A-9, and finding himself unlucky to run into a bigger ace three handed, A-Q in the hands of Johnny Neckar.
An Ace flopped but no nine, so we lose the erstwhile chip leader, Matt Vengrin in 3rd, winning $167,973 for his performance.
Mano a Mano
That leaves Johnny Neckar and David Phan contending the bracelet and title. Phan has a small chip lead and significantly more experience, but can he make it tell?
Stay tuned to find out!
