Event 13 in the World Cup of Cards followed a 50/50 bounty structure with a buy-in of $100 + $20 + $100, where players were awarded a $100 cash prize every time they knocked out an opponent.

Of the 260 players that entered, 27 were compensated with a cash prize – not including bounty prizes. Once play fell to 4 players, they made an ICM deal based on their chip counts, with the bigger share going to eventual champion David Valcourt-Dube.

David monopolized a spot atop the leaderboard from the start of the tournament, and most of the time he was chip leader. Once he arrived to the final table, other players rivalled his stack from time to time, however at the end of the night all of the chips in play found themselves in front of him.

In addition to collecting the largest share of the chop, David also pocketed 16 bounty chips along the way, adding $1,600 to his first place prize money.

Congratulations!

Event 13 Champion: David Valcourt-Dube – $4,605.00 (plus 16 bounty chips of $100 each)

Event 13 runner-up: Martin Nguyen – $3,285.00

Last hand of play

L’évènement 13 de la Coupe du Monde des Cartes suivait une structure bounty 50/50, avec un coût d’inscription de 100$ + 20$ +100$. Un bounty d’une valeur de 100$ était remis aux joueurs dès qu’ils en éliminaient un autre.

Des 260 joueurs qui se sont présentés, 27 touchaient un prix en argent, excluant les jetons bounty. Quand les joueurs se sont retrouvés à 4, ils ont conclu une entente ICM basée sur leur tapis respectifs, et la plus grande part alla au champion éventuel, David Valcourt-Dubé.

David a monopolisé la position de tête  du classement très tôt dans le tournoi, et put jouir de cette position pendant la majeure partie de l’évènement. Une fois sur la table finale, différents joueurs ont pu rivalisé momentanément avec son tapis, mais à la conclusion, c’est David qui se retrouva avec la totalité des jetons.

En plus de toucher le plus gros prix de la liste révisée, David empocha également 16 jetons bounty, ajoutant à son premier prix de 1 600$

Félicitations!

 

Champion de l’évènement 13: David Valcourt-Dube – 4 605$ (plus 16 jetons bounty, à 100$ chacun)

Deuxième place: Martin Nguyen – 3 285$

Dernière main du tournoi:

Action was quite wild after the deal was made, and players were firing all kinds in an attempt to win the extra $500 and the WCC Trophy.

In the most recent hand, David and Garry were all-in against each other in a battle of the blinds.

Board:

Event 13 is now heads-up between David and Martin, with David holding slightly more than a 2-to-1 chip lead.

3rd place: Gary Thompson – $3,445.00

Bruno Visotzky-Bernier was the first player eliminated after the deal, as his fell second best to the of David Valcourt-Dube. He had locked in $3,475 in the deal.

4th place: Bruno Visotzky-Bernier – $3,475.00

Once play fell 4-handed, the players decided to take a look at the number to see if a deal was reachable. Once the floor returned with the numbers, all 4 were very happy to shake on it.

The tournament requires $500 extra and the WCC Champion’s Trophy to be left aside for the eventual champion, and so play has resumed. Below are the figures that have been locked in by each player as they play for the title.

Congratulations!

First Name | Prénom	Last Name | Nom	Stack | Tapis	Prize | Prix
David	Valcourt-Dube	2,100,000	$4,105.00

Garry	Thompson	1,075,000	$3,445.00
Martin	Nguyen	905,000	$3,285.00

Garry Thompson open-shoved for a little over 550,000, and Charan Malhotra threw in his bounty chip committing his final 475,000.

Garry was calling for a 5, which never came. He did however run a flush on the board, which surely was to his satisfaction.

Below are the counts of the final 4 players as they negotiate a potential deal.

First Name | Prénom	Last Name | Nom	Stack | Tapis
David	Valcourt-Dube	2,100,000
Bruno	Visotzky-Bernier	1,110,000
Garry	Thompson	1,075,000
Martin	Nguyen	905,000

5th place: Charan Malhotra – $1,710.00

Rong Xu was crippled to 1 big blind by Charan Malhotra not too long ago, and miraculously flopped top set when he was auto-all-in from the blinds to more than triple up.

Moments later he found his all-in versus the of David, however David rivered a straight on the board to score the knockout.

David sits on 1,475,000 in chips now, good for the chip lead.

6th place: Rong Xu – $1,290.00
