WSOP Main Event 2014 FINAL TABLE - PART1

The WSOP Main Event 2014 final table started slow. Not much action and the most preflop raises were without a caller. Jorryt Van Hoof could maintain his chip leader position.

After 30 hands played Martin Jacobson lost a big pot against Andoni Larrabe and fell to last place. From this moment on, he was fighting as a small stack at the table.

 Hand #48 brought the chip leader more chips from Felix Stephensen who fell from the second big stack to third position.

The next big hand brought Mark Newhouse from sixth place to fourth against Felix Stephensen who folded after a big bet on the river. Stephensen, after this hand, was in position 6.

The first elimination of this final table came in hand #56 played between William Tonking and Mark Newhouse. After preflop bet, raise and reraise came 2d, 4c, Jh on the flop. Big bet from Tonking and call from Newhouse.  4h on the turn, Tonking checked to Mark Newhouse, he made a big bet and Tonking called. The river  brought Jc and Newhouse pushed all his chips in the middle. His pocket 10s was not enough against the pocket Qs from Tonking. Mark Newhouse had to go with a winning prize of $730,725. William Tonking now the chip leader on table.

After the next break,  level 37 started the with the blinds at 300000/600000 and antes of 75000 where Jorryt van Hoof took back his chip lead followed by William Tonking. 

Hand #100 brought the next elimination. Bruno Politano on the button moved All In with Qs, 10c and was called by Stephensen with 7c, 7s. The board 2c 6h 3h Kc 9h didn’t bring the cards Politano needed. He won a respectable $947,077.

Stealing the Blinds

Six hands later almost the same situation, Dan Sindelar on the Button with Jd, Jc moved all in and Van Hoof called with his big stack and suited Ah, 3h. The board came 7h 2h Ad 3d Qs, two pair for Van Hoof and Dan Sindelar was eliminated on place 7 with $1,235,862.

Hand #112 has Billy Pappas, the small stack at the table, all in with suited Ks Js. Martin Jacobson made the call with his suited Qd 3d and flopped a Queen. The lucky river brought a King and a double up to Billy Pappas. Three hands later another double Up for Pappas. His Kd Kc dominated the Kh Qh from Andoni Larrabe. Pappas flopped full house with three aces and this hand put him to the third place with a chip stack of 26,000,000 chips.

Hand #140 was the last hand for Andoni Larrabe. After a raise from chip leader Jorryt van Hoof on the button, he moved All In with Jc 10c. Jorryt van Hoof with his suited Kh 5h saw a King on the flop 8d 3h Ks. The turn 8h and the river 6d weren’t any help for Larrabe. Andoni was eliminated on the 6^th place and took a winning prize of $1,622,080.

A few hands later it was possible for Jacobson to double up through William Tonking. His Ad 8h were the best against Ks Jh after the board brought 10c 6h 3c 5s 9d.

In  hand #154 Van Hoof climbed to over 94,000,000 on chips through Felix Stephensen. Next was a double up for Jacobson in hand #158 “sponsored” also by Stephensen. After these actions Stephensen fell to the last position and was now the small stack on the table with 19.825,000 chips.

Felix Stephensen’s turn came in the hand #184 when he doubled up with his pocket 7d 7c against Ac 9s from Jacobson. He flopped a set after the flop showed 8d 2c 7s. The turn 6d and the river 3h changed nothing. Jacobson now the last player on the battle field.

After hand #208 when Pappas went unlucky with his Ad Jh against pocket fives from Stephensen he remained with 50,000 chips at the table. The consequence was his all in for the next hand already after putting the ante. He also got pocket sevens 7c 7s, unlucky the chip leader Jorryt van Hoof held pocket Jacks Jh Jc. No help for Billy Pappas on the flop As Qd 2c, on the turn Qh and the river 6c. He was eliminated on 5^th place and will come home with $2,143,174.

William Tonking the last USA player at the table was now the small stack. In the Hand #224 he pushed his remaining chips in the middle with his pocket 2h 2c. He was called  by Jacobson with pocket tens 10h 10d. The flop brought 4c 5c Jc and more outs for Tonking. But the 6d on the turn and Qs on the river didn’t work and he was busted on place 4 with a winning money of $2,848,833.
