Event 41 - Gary Wins! 1 year ago

Frank Gary took control of the match in the Limit Hold'em half of the last level taking pot after pot off young Jonathan Tamayo until he had built a 2-1 chip lead.

The two traded jabs for a little while after that until Tamayo fought back a little calling a series of ill conceived river bluffs by Gary until the lead was cut down to just $300k with Gary holding $1.2 million to Tamayo's 900k.

That's when the match really took a turn. Tamayo bet into a Qs Jc 10h flop and Gary called. The turn came the 10s and Tamayo led out again. Gary tanked before making the $100k call and when the 9d river brought another bet from Tamayo it was another deep tank session for Gary.

This time he emerged raising and when Tamayo called showing he'd flopped the nut straight with A-K he could only curse his luck as Gary's pocket nines made a boat on the river.

By this point Gary had $1.7 million to Tamayo's $400k and look like a lock to win his first bracelet.

Tamayo was down to the lint on the felt and not much else after rivering an ace against Gary, but finding out after a Gary call that the man had made two pair.

With just $175k left he was all in the very next hand with Qh 7s. Gary made the call with As 3h and after the board ran out Ac 6s 4c 8s 2s Gary had won the bracelet and the $219,508 first place prize. The 22-year-old Tamayo gets $140,093 for second.

Event 41 - Heed The Heads-Up Warning 1 year ago

In the first few hands of heads up Frank Gary doubled up to get even with Jonathan Tamayo.

Gary raised Tamayo pushed and Gary called showing Ac 8h. Tamayo had Js 10s and when the board ran out Ah 8d 7s 6d 7c the two heads-up combatants had pulled even.

Once he doubled Gary then check raised his way to one pot and continued to put pressure on Tamayo grabbing a slight chip lead. Tamayo grabbed it back with a slick check-raise of his own on a 9s 5c 3h flop fleecing Gary out of $200k.

Tamayo put his foot on the gas after that building a lead, but Gary would not go away, winning a number of small pots to stay within striking distance.

By the end of the first forty minutes of heads up Tamayo had $1.2 million to Gary's $980k and the players took a twenty minute break.
