Jarl Lindholt Eliminated in 2nd Place ($258,000)

Posted: Thu, Jun 30, 05, 4:23 PM

Jarl Lindholt moves all in, and Lawrence Gosney calls. Lindholt shows 9c-8s, and Gosney shows Ad-Qd. Gosney is in the lead, and poised to take the championship, as the flop comes Js-10d-5d. Both players pick up big draws, but Gosney's is slightly bigger. Gosney has a gutshot, and diamond draw, and Lindholt has an open ended straight draw. The turn is a total blank, 2s, and now Lindholt needs a 7 that's not a diamond, a Q an 8 that's not a diamond or a 9 that's not a diamond to stay alive. The river is the Kh. Gosney makes his broadway straight, and eliminates Jarl Lindholt to take the championship.

 

Lawrence Gosney Using His Stack

Lawrence Gosney is getting agressive with his $1,000,000 + in chips. Lindholt is looking slightly frustrated with the hole cards he is receiving, and his inability to play them into Gosney's raises.

Shack Ko Eliminated in 3rd Place ($157,800)

Posted: Thu, Jun 30, 05, 3:59 PM

Shack Ko moves all in for $175,000 and Lawrence Gosney calls. Ko shows Ad-5d, and Gosney shows Ah-Qh. The flop comes 9d-6c-3s, no help for Shack. The turn is the 8h, and now Ko will need a 7 for a straight or a 5 for a pair in order to win and stay alive. The river is the Kd, and Shack Ko is eliminated in 3rd Place.

 

Shack Ko Doubles Up

Posted: Thu, Jun 30, 05, 3:54 PM

Shack Ko moves all in for his last $101,000 in chips. Jarl Lindholt calls. Ko shows Qh-6h, and Lindholt shows Ac-8h. Lindholt has the advantage heading to the flop, which comes Qd-5d-5c. Ko has the lead now, and Lindholt needs an ace, or running eights, or running fives to win the pot. The turn is the Kc, and now an ace and an ace only will win the pot for Lindholt, and knock out Shack Ko. The river is the 3h. Shack Ko's cheering section goes bananas, as Ko doubles up.

Posted: Thu, Jun 30, 05, 3:25 PM

Shack Ko raises to $80,000 in chips preflop, and Jarl Lindholt reraises all in for $235,000. Ko calls. Lindholt shows the As-Jd, and Ko is up against it, he shows Jc-10c. The flop comes 5s-4c-3c, and Shack Ko has bought himself a lot of outs. Ko can now hit any club or any ten to take the lead in the hand. The turn is a close one, a black 9, but it's the 9s. Ko still needs a club, or a ten for the win. 12 outs to the river, which comes, Ah. Lindholt has made a pair of aces. Lindholt doubles up, and is no longer the short stack at the table.
