Leading up to the final table, Tony G. was clearly securing his lead, double busting Ricky and Michael around 5:30 PM.
Next to head home was Gordo, when his pocket 6’s didn’t hold up against Amo Tarnoff’s AK, with a flop of 4-3-10, then runner runner Q, J, for Broadway.
Around 7pm- the bubble. Gilbert’s all in with KQ against Amo’s AQ- Amo’s ace holds up sending Gilbert home, and moving the table into the points. Last Players standing were the following 5: Tony R, Bill Sims, Joe W, Amo and Tony G. Tony pushes with AQ against Joe W’s AJ, and a Jack landed on the flop, sending Tony R. to collect his fifth place points. Next, Bill S. didn’t get any help from the board with his all-in against Tony G’s pocket Jacks, giving Bill fourth place. Joe W. took third place with his A-10 missing against Amo’s AK with a rivered King for Amo. By 7:30 PM, Tony G. (chip leader) and Amo are heads up- with Tony’s final hand (Q8) as victorious when two Queens hit the board.
Congratulations to all!
