Event 29 - Final Table - Players Down!
1 year ago
The final table has commenced and a healthy crowd has gathered on the rail to cheer on the players. One particular player of note on the rail was Annette Obrestad, who was quietly observing the play almost unnoticed, no doubt picking up some tips for the time when she is old enough to throw herself into the WSOP mix.
It Hurts, Segovia (OUT - 9th)
Sebastian Segovia is the first casualty of the final table. He was shortstacked and finding the Big Slick, he felt he couldn't get away from this, despite there being a raise from John Phan and a shove from Matt Vengrin.
Phan folded and once Segovia called, he found himself flipping for his stack showing A-K to Vengrin's Q-Q.
The board blanked till the river when Vengrin hit a Queen for trips to send Segovia crashing to the rail in a world of hurt. He's OUT, eliminated in 9th spot for $39,523.
Dunst And Dusted! (OUT - 8th)
Matt Vengrin has continued to deal out pain to his tablemates, sending Tony Dunst to the rail in unfortunate circumstances.
The shortstacked Dunst shoved from the small blind for $130,000 or so and Vengrin, feeling frisky called from the small blind with 8
9
.
He looked unlikely to win with Dunst flipping red pocket cowboys, K
K
.
A flop of T
7
8
gave him a pair and a straight draw, but Dunst with his overpair and flush draw was still a big favorite to take it down.
A cruel offsuit J
on the turn however moved Vengrin into the lead and he didn't relinquish it on the T
river, meaning Tony Dunst is OUT, eliminated in 8th spot for $54,344.
The game continues...
