Two World Series seat winners for May!
With 112 players in this months first World Series Grand Final there were 2 packages up for grabs, and with several previous seat winners as well as several big performing tourney regulars the competition was fierce.
The closer to the end it came the tighter everyone got, knowing you had to be one of the last 2 meant you didn't need to mass all the chips and win it all, you just had to stay alive...
Down to three play got uber-tight, no one wanted to get involved in a big pot knowing just hanging on for one more place meant a trip to the WSOP, no matter what chips they had left. The big stack nutsmike tried to secure his spot early, pushing all in pre-flop with pocket fours, unfortunately that move turned out to be a CDU (courtesy double-up) when he ran into chancho1's pocket 7's.
Still with a massive chip lead nutsmike started getting super loose aggressive, this time pushing all in with 3-6 all diamonds, chancho1 made the call with J-10, and with Q-T-Q, and an extra queen on the river it was a full house and another CDU for chancho1.
After doubling up twice through nutsmike, the first time chancho got all in with his other opponent CharlieParker it was all over. CharlieParker was slightly ahead from the start with A-8 all clubs over chancho's K-J, a 4-A-Q flop kept him in front but gave chancho1 some outs with the straight draw. An ace on the turn left him needing a ten and a ten only with 1 card to come. A 2 on the river meant chancho1 was our bubble boy, and CharlieParker and Nutsmike were our winners and will taking their places at this years WSOP!
As I write this there are already people registering for next months Grand Final. Register now and book your place to take your shot at a seat at this years World Series of Poker. Alternatively start playing our satellites for as little as $2 to win your way through!
