Luc Bellerive wins the CPPT World Cup of Cards

2017/08/28 - 20:09 by

It only took a few hands after Luc Bellerive’s huge double through Tam Ho for the whole tournament to be on the line. From the small blind, Luc opted to shove and Tam took a quick look at his cards and called by putting a single chip capped by his card cap in with his bb while making his “call” declaration.

Luc: 4 of Diamonds 4 of Clubs
Tam: Queen of Clubs Queen of Diamonds

Luc was a huge underdog and it looked like we were in for a double up in the other direction… until the flop, that is.

Flop: King of Spades 4 of Hearts 2 of Clubs

Luc had hit and was on the verge of riding a major cooler all the way to the championship.

Turn: Jack of Spades
River: 9 of Diamonds

And that was it! After 3 solid days of play, Luc Bellerive had managed to secure the victory.

His path to the win was far from easy. Luc was the player with the smallest stack in the entire tournament – just 3K over the starting stack – to begin Day 2, but he stayed alive and seemingly flew under the radar throughout the day, bagging the largest stack at the end of Day 2. His road today was somewhat easier, starting as the chip leader, but with the pace of play, anything could have happened and it’s a credit to Luc’s play that he managed to stay out of danger for most of today.

Event #13 CPPT World Cup of Cards Champion: Luc Bellerive, $98,000.00

Final hand of play

2nd place: Tam Ho, $67.050.00

In the first all-in and call of this heads up session, Luc Bellerive has doubled through Tam Ho to take a commanding chip lead. We missed the preflop action, but it seems that Luc 3-bet shoved and was finally met with a call from Tam Ho.

Luc: Ace of Spades Jack of Clubs
Tam: Ace of Hearts 10 of Hearts

The community cards brought no joy for Tam: 7 of Spades 2 of Clubs 5 of Spades 8 of Diamonds 9 of Clubs and he was required to ship 1.945M in chips across the table to Luc.

With the elimination of Stuart Taylor, Tam Ho and Luc Bellerive are now heads up in the tournament. Tam Ho made the biggest splash today by eliminating the first 3 players, but Luc came in to the final table with a big stack and has used it with skill and care all day.

At this point, Tam is playing about 3.85M in chips while Luc has a 1.85M stack. However, anything can happen in heads up play so the result is not a foregone conclusion. The only thing that has been concluded is that one of them will leave $67,050.00 richer, and the other will take home a whopping $98,000!
