MadBaltic has finished his 2008 PokerNews Cup Main Event journey in 40th place, earning a cool $4100 for his efforts
Facing a raise to 22k from MP, MadBaltic pushed all-in with 55k from the cut-off before big blind pushed all-in over the top with about 80k. MP called to make it a big three way pot, and MadBaltic and BB both showed ATo against MP's QQ.
The flop came QAK rainbow, giving MP a set of Q's, but also giving MadBaltic top pair and a gut shot straight draw. The Estonian was calling for a J on the turn, but it bricked with a 6, and when the river showed with a 2 MadBaltic was eliminated along with BB. Because our big Estonian team member had the smaller stack than his opponent he officially finished in 40th place.
What a fantastic effort it was by MadBaltic to navigate his way through two long days of Main Event play and take home $4100. Congratulations, you did yourself and your team very proud! Now it is time to celebrate!
