BPT Event 5 Results and News
Well I`m just going to deal with my tournament for a while, don`t worry it won`t take long :-(
The event started with 116 runners, a very cool looking table, and Freebird on in the background. I never really got off the mark in this game, it became even more difficult when the aggressively playing Markster1 took out ThePurdle to give him a significant chip lead on the table. Nonetheless I was holding out decently enough in the middle of the field. Calling a small raise by Markster with A-7 in my hand I was rewarded with a flop of 9-7-A, a small bet from Markster and I went over the top with an all-in. I was surprised that he called as this was the first time I had made such an aggressive move, he turned over A-J but unfortunately for me one of his jacks hit on the turn and that was me gone in 82nd place.
I had another game starting soon after (more on that shortly) so I didn`t get back to watching the BPT until it was down to the final 3 of JayNYC, Iyatoni, and the host Skinski. It looked cut and dried with Jay having a commanding chip lead and Skinski very short stacked but poker is nothing if not unpredictable.
With Skinski on the BB and only around 8k in chips left Jay pushed all-in, Skinski folded, Jay was obviously surprised (You folded?) but the decision proved a good one. The very next hand Skinski went all-in, was called by Iyatoni. The board brought Skinski 3 beautiful kings to go with the AK in his hand and gave the host a few more hands grace.
I guess it just wasn`t to be for Jay, several times he went into a hand ahead only to lose to the inferior hand, his AK was beaten by Skinski`s K-10 and his final hand was A-7 vs Iyatoni`s A-6, again the better hand lost when the board brought a 6.
That left Iyatoni and Skinski heads-up and for a while it looked as if the impossible might happen especially when the river brought Skinski a straight, giving him the hand much to Iyatoni`s surprise. However despite an excellent performance by Skinski it was Iyatoni`s day and he took first place.
