_f00bar_ finishes first in another fantastic WSOP final - by Seth Shafer

May 1, 2008 With BEATME x, Wieringen, and IchbinGott already booking their places at the WSOP Main Event over the weekend, Monday night saw another 36 players registering in a WSOP Final for their chance to win the $17500 WSOP package.

After 2 hours of play 26 players found themselves on the wrong side of the rail and the final table came together.

The final table;

gringos - 25,260 in chips
johnyy777 x - 15,630 in chips
darth V - 13,398 in chips
IrinaMaria - 11,121 in chips
_f00bar_ - 10,985 in chips
jayinch - 8,565 in chips
WhamBamTySir - 7,861 in chips
ufi5ufi5 - 7,840 in chips
5FingersWast - 4,920 in chips
halfday3 - 2,420 in chips

IrinaMaria and 5FingersWast were the first to be bundled off the final table, and johnyy777 x, WhamBamTySir, and halfday3 all followed in quick succession to leave only 5 players standing.

_f00bar_ then moved from an average stack to the chip leader when his full house, K’s over J’s, won him a huge three-way pot. _f00bar_ then increased his stack up to 52,645 in chips when his paired J was enough to knock out ufi5ufi5 in 5th spot and send the play to four-handed.

The final four;

_f00bar_ - 56,785 in chips
gringos - 23,460 in chips
darth V - 14,018 in chips
jayinch - 13,737 in chips

At the 2 and-a-half hour mark jayinch pushed all-in pre-flop and darth V, who could just cover jayinch’s stack, made the call. jayinch turned over 7h Jd and was in big trouble when darth V turned over pocket A’s. When the flop showed 4c As Ks any hope for jayinch was extinguished and darth V just about doubled up.

It wasn’t long before another all-in showdown, this time between gringos and chip leader _f00bar_. With 6k in the pot and the flop showing 6h Kc 9c, _f00bar_ bet out 7k with gringos calling. 5d came out on the turn and _f00bar_ turned up the heat by betting out 20K. gringos went all in over the top with 22K and _f00bar_ called the extra 2k. The players turned over their cards and gringos showed Kd Qd for top pair, but _f00bar_ showed Kh 9s giving him the lead with two pair.

Gringos’s only chance to stay alive was to hit a Q on the river, but when it showed 3s _f00bar_ took another nice pot and went into heads-up with 79,745 in chips compared to darth V’s 31, 255.

darth V tried hard to claw back same advantage, but after 10 minutes of heads-up play the players’ stacks hadn’t really changed.

The final hand played out with darth V sitting on 22k in chips and _f00bar_ on just over 85k. With blinds at 600/1200_f00bar_ raised it to 2.4k from the small blind and darth V chucked in the extra 1.2k to call.

The flop showed 6s 8c Qh and_f00bar_ bet out 2K before darth V raised it to 20k, pushing all-in over the top. It was 18k for _f00bar_ to make the call, but he quickly chucked his chips in and turned over pocket A’s. darth V showed Qc Ts and he was going to need more than just the force to save him.

The turn then showed 7s with no help for darth V, and with a 7d dropping on the river _f00bar_ took the win and the $17500 package.
