Former champions and players who've made the general table of the Battle of the Planets monthly $50,000.00 triple shootout freeroll often make return trips. It took two our final table players three and 4 years respectively to return in and say hi today. But, the month tonight would go someone new as jSorc took down $12,000.00 after winning three straight tables.
Down to the general two tables of the primary round Warningstein would take out Jjinjo after hitting a turned wheel to near their match as all eyes moved over to Table 47 where nitur and jucecito held the important thing to the second one round. With the blinds as much as 150/300 ante 25 and showing no sign of stopping, the rail was getting a bit of antsy to begin up the cash round where everyone was assured at $195.00 for winning their first table.
When the blinds moved to 200/400 ante 50 nitur continued to be stay aggressive while picking up several preflop pots as jucecito won enough to stick away. Staying at the gas peddle, nitur pushed again from the button to 6,905 as jucecito found pocket fives 5♥5♦ were plenty to make the decision. nitur's K♣T♣ found a 10 at the flop T♠ 2♠ 7♣ A♣ Q♠ to finish the last match and begin up the round of 81.
12ziz12 already has two Battle of the Planet freeroll final tables. September 2010 placing fifth ($2,735.00) and November 2010 taking sixth ($2,200.00). Well... make that three final tables because the Australian made short work of the table in claiming the primary seat. And after taking down Event #1-M for $131,114.57 within the SCOOP 2013 that may be carrying out tomorrow shall we embrace 12ziz12 is back.
Down to Gdzila versus skeldon87 for the last seat on the final table with a possible $12,500.00 or $195.00 already earned. Down 3,739 to 9,761 Gdzila would shove excessive of a min-raise by skeldon87 holding K♠2♠. skeldon87's mid-ace A♠9♥ was enough to make the decision and enough to win the general pot after an ace hit the flop J♦ J♣ A♣ 9♠ 5♣ to solidify it and begin up the general table below:
Seat 1: russunray (1500 in chips)
Seat 2: kafelnikovz (1500 in chips)
Seat 3: jSorc (1500 in chips)
Seat 4: camelino (1500 in chips)
Seat 5: skeldon87 (1500 in chips)
Seat 6: ViKtOrHaZaRd (1500 in chips)
Seat 7: blackDonii (1500 in chips)
Seat 8: 12ziz12 (1500 in chips)
Seat 9: Godfatti (1500 in chips)
Out as fast as coming in
12ziz12 waited over HALF-HOUR for the last round of this triple shootout to start out and was out of the tournament in under 10 minutes after pushing a semi-bluff a bit too far. Still within the initial 10/20 blind level with the bound showing K♠ 7♦ 8♦ T♥ 12ziz12 was faced with an all-in bet by skeldon87. Holding J♦A♦ 12ziz12 made the decision facing pocket aces A♣A♠. The fourth ace showed up at the river A♥ sending 12ziz12 to the rail in ninth place ($775.00).
Russ runs away
Into the 25/50 blind level russunray would min-raise from middle position because it folded around to camelino within the big blind with pocket sixes 6♠6♥ and under the starting stack. camelino would shove for 1,275 total as russunray holding big slick K♥A♣ made the decision for less. No card over a nine at the 2♣ 9♣ 2♥ 4♣ 5♥ board and russunray went away in eighth place ($1,200.00).
In the black
As the blinds moved as much as 50/100 ViKtOrHaZaRd slipped to only 790 chips and was in a position to open shove with a small ace A♣5♦ from early position. Unfortunately, blackDonii one to the left was desperate to call any bets with pocket aces A♥A♠. No miracles on any streets here 7♣ 7♦ Q♠ 9♦ T♣ and ViKtOrHaZaRd left in seventh place ($1,700.00).
12 chips? 12 chips
That's all kafelnikovz had left tangling with jSorc. With the blinds moving as much as 125/250 ante 25 and still six players remaining kafelnikovz would attempt to bully jSorc with a shove from the small blind. Holding a tight heads-up ace 9♣A♦ jSorc made the proper call kafelnikovz flipped up a smaller ace 5♠A♠. Both players would pair their kickers 9♠ K♠ 7♥ 3♣ 5♦ leaving kafelnikovz with 12 chips. Two hands later kafelnikovz would officially receive sixth place cash ($2,200.00).
A familiar face
It will have been many years ago but Godfatti chopped up this freeroll back in 2009 and was seeking to achieve this again nearly four years later. Two hands after kafelnikovz took leave Godfatti took a shot holding just 529 chips by shoving all-in barely over the five hundred chip raise by skeldon87. skeldon87 made the decision with pocket sevens 7♠7♥ and managed to take the 1,433 chip pot after the 6♥ Q♥ 8♣ 3♦ Q♦ did not hook up with Godfatti's 5♦A♠. RATHER LESS than last time, but Godfatti earned $2,735.00 in fifth place.
Fast to the finish
Just three hands later camelino would take a shot at improving a shortstack against the sizable 125/250 ante 25 blinds. Open shoving from the cutoff for 1,805 as skeldon87 went searching for a second straight elimination by re-shoving from the button with pocket sixes 6♠6♣. Despite flopping a flush draw A♣ K♦ A♦ Q♠ 2♥ camelino's T♦8♦ would miss the board enough to ship the 4,085 pot to skeldon87 as camelino earned $3,350.00 in fourth place.
Black magic?
jSorc needed to cast some more or less spell over backDonii who took down six hands in row to get the Hungarian to take a seat for once. Firing 4,363 chips into the pot from the button was a tight strategy to get blackDonii to fold but skeldon87 didn't. Holding pocket jacks J♣J♠ skeldon87 made the decision for less as jSorc showed a wedding in diamonds Q♦K♦ which quickly found another queen at the Q♥ 5♥ 8♥ 2♥ 5♦ board to say the 7,769 chip pot and send $4,500.00 with skeldon87 in third place.
Minute to win it
Ten hands and jSorc never let go of the lead. It could only take a minute to get through those ten hands and claim the $12,000.00 in conjunction with the May Battle of the Planets title. Watch below:
