Event 39 - Heads Up For Gold!
1 year ago
The three players had been on a break for much of the last hour, but once they returned, it didn't take long before things kicked off.
The third place player has been decided and the two remaining combatants are heads up for the bracelet.
David Woo has been an unstoppable juggernaut so far, can anything stop his inexorable ascent to the throne?
Here's how we got to heads up.
Show Him The Door, Matt!
Eric Beren was the shortstack three handed and pushed on the button with A
T, only to run into Matt Wood making a very standard call with his A
Q
. Ooooh nasty!
Calling for a Ten, Beren watched the dealer fan out a board that had no tens on it, and once the smoke had cleared, Wood's A-Q high was good for the pot, meaning Eric Beren is OUT, eliminated in 3rd spot, winning $278,4640!
David Woo and Matt Wood are heads up, vying for the bracelet, but as Wood knocked out Beren in third he has eaten into the previously impregnable lead Woo has amassed!

Event 39 - Woo Woo - Full Steam Ahead!
1 year ago
The final has been relatively one way traffic so far and a huge and amazing pot just played out that is likely to be the definitive pot of the tournament.
Here's how it all went down.
Woo Takes Two!
An absolute stonker of a pot here.
Woo, Curtis Early and Thom Wethmann saw an unraised Q J T flop, and Werthman bet out $275,000, Woo flat called and Curtis Early moved all-in for $1,300,000.
Big push, but Werthmann was going nowhere, also pushing in for $1,500,000.
Unbeleivably David Woo now looked like he might call, he looked stunned and amazed but had a relatively easy decision, calling the two pushes, holding the nuts, A K!
An amazing cooler-esque flop it had proved as Werthmann flipped Q J
for top two pair and Curtis Early K Q for top pair and an open ended straight draw!
With the stack sizes getting so small relative to the blinds, it was almost inevitable all the players would fire their chips in on this flop but it was Woo who was best placed to pick up the $4,500,000 pot and take an even more dominant position in the chip count standings.
Needing to dodge a Jack, Queen or Ace to scoop, he did just that as the turn and river blanked in the form of the 3 and 8!
Two players busted by the rampaging Woo then, Curtis Early picks up $150,368 for his fifth place finish while Thom Werthmann is also eliminated, finishing 4th by virtue of his slightly superior chip position, winning $191,209.
Who can stop Woo?
Habib Khan't
Habib Khanis won't be the man to put the brakes on Woo as he shoved his shortstack in from the cutoff with J Q and found Eric Beren calling from the small blind with the dominating K Q.
Looking for a knave to spike to save his tournament, he was out of luck as the board ran out blanks and Beren's King high finished up best, meaning we are left three handed!
Habib Khanis is OUT, eliminated in 4th spot, winning $233,906.
Here are the current chip counts, courtesy of worldseriesofpoker, showing Woo's superiority as he looks increasingly likely to take down the title!
