Event #2: And the winner is Christina Knot

2019/01/21 - 4:00 by Playground Poker

A champion has been declared in the $150 + $15 Deepstack Turbo, Event #2 in the World Cup of Cards.

After more than eight hours of play, including close to 90 minutes of back-and-forth heads up action between Christina Knot and Anh Nguyen, where both players were saved more than once by unlikely cards being dealt on the river, Christina, of Saint Hippolyte Quebec, finally prevailed.

Anh went all in with Ace of Hearts 6 of Spades and Christina wagered everything on 8 of Diamonds Jack of Diamonds. It looked like Anh might reign victorious, but the final hand was won on the final card when the board was dealt King of Spades 10 of Clubs 2 of Clubs King of Clubs 8 of Hearts.

As runner up, Anh’s share of the prize pool was $3,210!

But the grand prize of $5,166 and a champion’s bragging rights go to Christina, who demonstrated poise and  perseverance throughout the event!

Christina Knot just won a monster pot when she went heads up with Kevin Klun!

Preflop, Kevin limped in with a 12,000 chip bet. Both Patrick Levin, and Christina called. But when the flop came down 9 of Spades 10 of Clubs 9 of Clubs, Christina wagered 30,000. Kevin called before Patrick mucked his cards.

When the dealer revealed the turn 8 of Hearts, Christina declared that she was going all in. Patrick pondered for a moment, regarding his hole cards, before he called her bet. Both players revealed their hand. Patrick had suited connectors 7 of Spades 6 of Spades. However Christina was holding Queen of Clubs Jack of Hearts.

Patrick shook his head, aware that he even though he had a straight, he was dead in the water even before the river card, a 10 of Spades, was dealt.

Chistina more than doubled her stack of 250,000 chips.
