Event 3 Champion: Gerry Arbour

2017/08/21 - 21:05 by Michael Boyle

Although play stalled with 4 remaining, once the dam burst again, the tournament picked up speed and within just a half hour the whole thing was over with Gerry Arbour emerging as the champion of Event 3, the $100 + $10 Roll the Dice Mixed Game 8-Max event in the World Cup of Cards.

Heads up action was between Gerry and Niko Ghag, and Niko had a dominant chip lead for a long (relatively speaking) period of time, but Gerry managed to find a double up in a NL Hold’em hand and then to take down the whole tournament one hand later in a 5-Card PLO hand.

The preflop action involved a small raise, and then pot-pot which put Niko all in, and the cards were flipped:

Niko: Ace of Hearts Queen of Hearts King of Spades 6 of Hearts 3 of Hearts
Gerry: 5 of Hearts 8 of Hearts 8 of Clubs Ace of Spades Queen of Spades

The flop was huge: 10 of Spades 2 of Clubs 8 of Diamonds to put Gerry well into the lead and then the 3 of Diamonds 7 of Diamonds on the turn and river brought no miracles for Niko and Gerry took the top prize.

Event 3 Champion: Gerry Arbour, $1,940

The Roll the Dice event was a good one for Bernard Auguste, who had a massive lead for hours at a time during the tournament and was clearly have a ton of fun throughout. When play got shorthanded however, he more often than not seemed to be on the bad side of fate and ended up getting quite short stacked.

Bernard was down to 119K in a Pineapple hand when he chose to shove over Gerry’s limp open holding Ace of Diamonds 9 of Diamonds – only to be facing 10 of Clubs 10 of Spades. Gerry made the call, and the board runout of 9 of Clubs 7 of Diamonds King of Spades Queen of Spades 5 of Hearts kept the kings in the lead and Gerry stacked the chips.

4th place: Bernard Auguste, $670
