Jay Glazer Wins!

Posted: Thu, Dec 07, 06, 11:38 AM

Glazer whittled Westra down to the nub. Westra was forced to go all in on his big blind. Glazer turned over pocket Aheart-Aspade. Westra literally threw in the towel. It didn’t matter, the board awarded Glazer the winning hand anyway.

Johnathan Westra went home in second place with $131,335.

Jay Glazer won the bracelet, $244,395, and a $25,000 seat into the World Poker Tour Finals in April 2007.

Fred Bonyadi Is Out

Posted: Thu, Dec 07, 06, 10:40 AM

Bonyadi pushed under the gun with pocket kings. It was folded to Westra on the button, who called with A-Q. Bonyadi had over 400k in chips. If he doubled up, he’d trade chip leads with Westra who was sitting with about 700k. If he lost, Westra would attain chip monopoly. The flop came A-4-5, putting Westra ahead with the higher pair. A 3 on the turn and a queen on the river didn’t improve Bonyadi’s hand.  Fahrzad “Fred” Bonyadi went home in 4th place with $40,095.
 

Rob Kelepouris Out in 5th Place

Posted: Thu, Dec 07, 06, 10:29 AM

With about 50k already in the pot, Kelepouris raised another 100k from the button. Glazer got out of the way, and Westra moved all in from the big blind. Luong folded. Kelepouris called and turned over Kspade-Qspade. Westra had pocket Qclub-Qdiamond. The flop came Aclub-Jclub-9spade and Kelepouris would need a 10 to make a straight. The turn was an 8heart, and the river, 2diamond, awarding Westra the pot. Rob Kelepouris went home in 5th place with $29,185.
 

Glazer Doubles Through Kelepouris

Posted: Thu, Dec 07, 06, 10:11 AM

Action came around to Glazer in the small blind, and he moved all in for his last 100k. It was folded around to Kelepouris, who called from the button. Glazer had Aclub-Jclub, but Kelepouris had pocket 8spade-8diamond.  The flop came Qheart-9club-8, giving Kelepouris a set. The turn was the 6club, giving Glazer some hope, but he would need another club on the river to win. In runner-runner fashion, a 2club fell, completing Glazer’s flush and doubling him up to about 240k.

Posted: Thu, Dec 07, 06, 10:07 AM
