Event 9 Champion: Francois Goulet

2016/08/30 - 4:40 by Playground Poker

Event 9 of the World Cup of Cards was a 6-max NL Hold’em event that saw 181 players participate. Of these, 19 were scheduled to be paid, with a cool $12,200 reserved for the eventual winner, in addition to the WCC Event 9 Champion’s Trophy.

Once on the final table of 7, a deal was proposed and quickly refused. Action continued until our first elimination, after which the deal was once again proposed – as stacks were more likely to agree at this point. The numbers were given, and players started negotiating. At first, Francois Goulet, the shortest stack at the time, wasn’t really interested with what he was being offered, so the other players started offering him a small percentage of their earnings. Eventually he gave in and accepted the total of $6,000 being offered to him, and play resumed with an additional $1,050 reserved for the eventual winner.

Francois went on a heater the moment the deal was done, and knocked out 3 players in a very short span, stacking up over 3/4 of the chips in play before doubling up Michael Levy. He then knocked out Yohann Wagner in 3rd place, and began heads-up play versus Michael.

Stacks were fairly even to begin with, and as there was a $1,050 pay jump for the winner, the two finalists began playing serious poker once again. Heads-up went back and forth for over a level before both players were dealt a respectable hand pre-flop and decided to commit their stacks. Michael tabled King of Clubs 10 of Hearts, but found himself in big trouble versus Francois and his Ace of Hearts 10 of Diamonds. As the boards brought no change, Francois went from short stack at 6-handed play to our Event 9 champion!

Congratulations!

Event 9 Champion: Francois Goulet – $7,050.00

Event 9 runner up: Michael Levy – $7,520.00

Le champion de l’évènement 9 : Francois Goulet

2016/08/30 - 4:40 by Jôle Simard

L’évènement 9 de la Coupe du Monde des Cartes était un tournoi NL Hold’em 6-Max qui accueillit 181 participants. De ceux-ci, 19 allaient être payés, avec un fringant 12 200$ réservés au gagnant, en plus du trophée du champion WCC.

Quand la table finale de 7 joueurs fut formée, une entente fut proposée mais rapidement refusée. l’action continua jusqu’à la première élimination, après quoi l’entente fut proposée à nouveau, alors que les tapis rendaient celle-ci plus probable. Les chiffres furent amenés, et les joueurs commencèrent leurs négotiations. D’abord, François Goulet, qui possédait le plus petit tapis à ce point, montrait peu d’intérêt pour ce qui lui était offert. Les autres joueurs lui offrirent donc un pourcentage de leur prix. Il finit par céder et accepta le total de 6 000$ qui lui étaient offerts, et ainsi le jeu reprit avec 1 050$ retenus pour le gagnant éventuel.

François devint soudainement très chaud, et élimina 3 joueurs en un court laps de temps, accumulant ainsi plus de 75% des jetons en jeu, avant de doubler Michael Levy. Il s’affaira ensuite à éliminer Yohann Wagner en 3ème place, puis entreprit le tête-à-tête contre Michael.

Les deux tapis étaient assez égaux au départ, et avec les 1 050$ réservés au gagnant, ils jouèrent du poker sérieux. Les jetons firent plusieurs allez-retours pendant plus d’un niveau avant que les 2 joueurs reçoivent chacun une main respectable, et décidèrent d’engager leurs tapis. Michael ouvrit King of Clubs 10 of Hearts, mais réalisa la précarité de sa situation quand il put voir le Ace of Hearts 10 of Diamonds de François. Alors que le tableau n’apporta aucun changement, François se retrouva, après avoir été le dernier de 6 au moment des négociations, le champion de l’évènement 9!

Félicitations!

Players were talking about opening their game up post-deal, and they were certainly true to their word, as in one level we went from 6-handed to heads-up.

First we saw the elimination of Joey “Birdman” Boczek, as he failed to hit his heart flush with 10 of Hearts 7 of Hearts on a 2 of Spades Ace of Diamonds 6 of Hearts Jack of Hearts Jack of Spades board. Francois Goulet tabled 5 of Hearts 5 of Diamonds and scooped the chips.

Francois then claimed two more eliminations as he bumped Michel Cloutier out with Queen of Diamonds Jack of Diamonds over 5 of Diamonds 6 of Diamonds, and Sebastien Morin with Jack of Spades 9 of Spades over Ace of Diamonds 8 of Diamonds.

Michael Levy stepped in and scored a double up versus Francois, as his Queen of Clubs Queen of Hearts held versus Queen of Spades 8 of Clubs.

Yohann was eliminated next, as his Ace of Spades 2 of Diamonds fell second best to Francois’ King of Clubs 8 of Spades.

Play is now heads-up between Francois (around 2 million) and Michael Levy (around 1.6 million).

(Payouts are according the the 6-way deal that occurred)

  • Ante: 4K
  • Chip Average: 603K
  • Remaining: 6

Michael Korovine came onto this final table as the chip leader, however in 3 quick hands it was all but over for him.

He first doubled Michael Levy up with 9 of Diamonds 9 of Clubs < Ace of Diamonds Queen of Clubs, and then lost with Ace of Clubs 10 of Clubs to Joey and his Ace of Spades Queen of Diamonds. He was left with only a few blinds behind, and when action folded around to him in the small blind, he moved in and found a quick call from Sebastien Morin in the big blind.

Korovine: King of Hearts 9 of Clubs
Sebastien: King of Hearts King of Clubs

Korovine smirked when he saw the King of Spades show up on the Jack of Hearts King of Spades 3 of Diamonds 2 of Hearts 4 of Hearts board as he walked over to the tournament desk to collect his 7th place receipt.

7th place: Michael Korovine – $2,150.00
