Jun 18, 2008
With just two days left to grab a spot on Team PokerRoom.com for the 2008 WSOP,
the action was hot and heavy in the online finals on Saturday, with a full field
of 40 players all jockeying for a coveted top prize of a $17,500 trip package.
salvatori27 held the lead at the first break, with E.D
woopass at the head of the pack at the 2nd break. When the final five
were reached, yet another player, biffo3x, was at the top of
the field:
Seat 2: sak31 ($15,414 in chips)
Seat 5: salvatori27 ($4,673 in chips)
Seat 6: dematch AA ($38,597 in chips)
Seat 8: biffo3x ($41,084 in chips)
Seat 9: MrAkwell ($20,232 in chips)
On life support when action was five handed, salvatori27 was
still alive when action was three-handed, but biffo3x appeared
to be poised to run away with it:
Seat 2: sak31 ($21,082 in chips)
Seat 5: salvatori27 ($20,852 in chips)
Seat 8: biffo3x ($78,066 in chips)
His lead was slightly smaller when heads-up play began, with salvatori27
still hanging in there:
Seat 5: salvatori27 ($49,490 in chips)
Seat 8: biffo3x ($70,510 in chips)
salvatori27 won a huge hand when he flopped a straight to
essentially seal the victory and the come from behind win, with the rest of
biffo3x’s chips sliding his way a few hands later. Congrats
to salvatori27 on taking down the $17,500 trip package and
to biffo3x for the runner-up finish worth $586 + a ticket.
