Event 36 - The Final Four!
1 year ago
We're down to the final four in this $1,500 No Limit Hold'em final table with the last hour seeing two more hopefuls fall in their quest for donkament glory and oodles of cash. Here's how it all went down in the Amazon Room at the Rio:
Wald Out (6th)
Cody Slaubaugh raises to $77,000 and Doug Middleton ships it all-in for his last $150,000. Justin Wald moves all-in over the top and Slaubaugh folds out after some tankage, leaving Middleton to show A
6
and Wald K
Q
. The board comes A
T
7
9
5
and Middleton doubles through Wald while Slaubaugh is not particularly happy with the latter's re-shove.
A few hands later, Wald, Danny Wong and Jesper Hougaard see a flop come J
J
4
. Wald bets out $50,000 and both opponents make the call. The turn is the K
and the action checks around, but on the 5
river Wald moves all-in. Hougaard folds but Wong makes the call and tables a pair of diamonds to Hougaard's Q-J. Wong has the flush and it's good to bust Wald, who leaves in sixth place and collects $140,286 for his time.
Middleton Muddied (5th)
Jesper Hougaard raises to $78,000 and Doug Middleton moves all-in for $410,000 from the small blind. Hougaard makes the call, showing a pocket pair of treys to Middleton's A
Q
. The board comes J
J
2
5
T
and the treys hold, giving Hougaard the pot and sending Middleton to the rail in fifth place. The boy will take home $177,028 for his time.
