You can always count on finding good poker at the VPL. This week was no exception.
This week the VPL hosted a tournament for 18 people.
The bubble is where this story begins:
Brian, Todd, TC and Michelle.
At this point, it came down to a waiting game. Todd was chip leader with three short stacks at the table.
Whenever there was an all-in, it would seem like that person would double up.
Once again, someone made an all-in move and got called. However the luck wasn't with that person this time and TC had to bow out of the tournament in 4th place with no money.
Money time: Brian Todd and Michelle.
At this point, the blinds were 400/800.
Here is where it got interesting.
Michelle was the short stack at this 3 way battle.
She picked her spot and moved all-in. Brian was to her left and thought about it for a moment.......and then he said all-in. Todd had them both covered and then began to think about it.
Todd calls Brian's all-in.
Michelle turns over AJ, Brian turns over JJ and Todd flipped over AK.
The flop came rags. Brian was out in the lead.
The turn came a K. Now Todd rushed into 1st place with one card coming.
The river came a blank.
With the blank on the river, Todd hit his King and takes out both players in one hand.
Michelle finished in 3rd place with a $46 win, Brian finished in 2nd place with a $76 win.
Todd wins the tournament, the chip and $153.
Congratulations to Todd and Brian for becoming the newest to qualify for the TOC.
Good luck next week.
