"Mr.Magoo7" Wins World Series Of Poker Online Pennsylvania $777 No-Limit Hold'emDean "TheRealYoshi" Morrow Fell Shy Of His Second Bracelet In As Many Days |
|
In one of the most dominating performances of any of the World Series of Poker Online Pennsylvania final tables thus far, a player with the screen name “Mr.Magoo7” earned a bracelet and a five-figure score.
He scored six of the eight possible knockouts at the final table en route to a win in the $777 no-limit hold’em lucky 7’s event. He bested a field of 158 unique players with another 68 rebuys, for a total of 226 entries, and earned $40,325 for his efforts. It’s just the third bracelet ever awarded to someone playing online in the Keystone State.
Magoo came into the final table with the chip lead and disposed of a recent bracelet winner during one of the first few hands. He got all of his chips into the middle preflop with AK against Dean “The RealYoshi” Morrow’s AK.
This situation usually ends up as a chopped pot, but there were two hearts on the flop, another on the turn and a final one on the river, which gave Magoo a flush and eliminated Morrow in ninth place. Just a day earlier, Morrow won a bracelet in the $400 no-limit hold’em six-max event for $35,480.
Magoo was on the right end of another cold deck just a few minutes later when he found himself with all the chips in the middle preflop again. This time he tabled KK against the AK of “ColdCold.” He faded the ace and left the table seven-handed.
Just before the end of the 8,000-16,000 blind level, Magoo cracked “pokervanman’s” AA with 98 on a board of Q978. Magoo check-called a bet on the flop and snapped off a turn jam to eliminate yet another player.
Following his third elimination of the level, he held nearly half of the chips in play and more than three times that of “TheReserve,” was second on the leaderboard.
Ben “Tallinn” Gazzola eliminated the only two players that weren’t sent home by the eventual winner. Gazzola scored a double knockout six-handed after Travis “UnitedWeZag” shoved all in from the cutoff with J7 and “CheckCheckCh” three-bet shoved on the button with AJ. Gazzola welcomed the site since he held AA in the big blind, called and eliminated both players without a sweat.
The pot left the table with four players, but also concentrated nearly all the chips between the top two stacks.
Magoo eliminated “TheReserve” in fourth and “96Tears” in third to start heads-up play with better than a 2-to-1 chip lead over Gazzola. Gazzola won a flip early in the match, and another pot after that to take a small chip lead, but it was just temporary.
Magoo won a huge pot with AK against Gazzola’s K10 on a J63K3 board to give Magoo a nearly 10-to-1 chip lead. Gazzola never recovered. Magoo finished the job when he cracked aces for the second time as they were all in preflop with Gazzola’s AA up against Magoo’s 33.
The board ran out 65442 and Magoo drilled a straight on the river to ship the bracelet and the money.
