x crash154 Avoids any Collisions and Takes a WSOP Victory Lap - By Seth Shafer

Jun 20, 2008 Friday the 13th proved a lucky day for one PokerRoom.com player who would manage to outlast a tough field of 40 competitors to take down the top prize of a $17,500 prize package to the 2008 WSOP.

zabo28 was the chip leader at the 1st break, with -Rex Cramer- taking the pole position at the 2nd break. With the field cut to just five survivors, there was a new leader in the form of x crash154:

Seat 1: x crash154 ($44,640 in chips)
Seat 3: -Rex Cramer- ($20,002 in chips)
Seat 4: TONO14 ($9,640 in chips)
Seat 7: biffo3x ($20,963 in chips)
Seat 10: zabo28 ($24,755 in chips)

With just three players remaining (x crash154, zabo28, and TONO14), two of them would clash in a battle of big hands. Zabo28 and x crash154 would find themselves all-in pre-flop, with zabo28 holding the As Kc but in terrible shape versus x crash154’s pocket rockets.

The aces held to give x crash154 a big lead when heads-up play began:

Seat 1: x crash154 ($96,358 in chips)
Seat 4: TONO14 ($23,642 in chips)

He wouldn’t let the lead slip away, either, as TONO14 made his move with Ac 7c, shoving all-in pre-flop, but found himself up against yet another big hand for x crash154, this time pocket kings. Once again, the big hand held, with x crash154’s kings good enough o take down the pot, the victory, and the $17,500 top prize, with TONO14 collecting $586 plus a finals ticket for his 2nd place finish.
