$200 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 5 (Blinds 200/400/400)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 50
 |
| While others arrived before the first hand was even dealt, Michael Eddy (Hollywood, FL) decided to join the action less than an hour ago...and is currently the flight's chip leader. |
Michael Eddy (Hollywood, FL) entered Flight 1A just as Level 4 was beginning, and immediately introduced himself to the table. Michael limped for (300) in his first hand (after three other players just called as well), with the player on the button going all-in for 1,000. Both the blinds, and the original limpers made the call, giving Eddy too good of a price to fold. He would make the call, and the table watched the dealer fan out a flop of K♦ 7♦ 4♥. After action checked to Eddy, he fired out a bet of 3,500, to be called by two players. The 10♦ then fell on the turn, and after the other active players checked, Eddy dumped in the rest of his stack (all-in for 15,500). The small blind released his hand, leaving Michael just one player to get through, but his opponent wasn't so quick to release. Following a few minutes in the tank, a call was made, and the three hands were exposed:
Michael Eddy: 9♦ 6♦
A. Nonymous: J♦ 7♥
B. Nonymous: A♣ 10♥
River: 9♥
Eddy had turned the nine-high flush, but was still at risk, and needed to fade a diamond on the river. He would do just that, and quickly turned his 20,000 unit starting stack, into over 50,000.
Towards the end of the level, Eddy's stack dipped a bit, but he'd get healthy very quickly. After an all-in of 5,700, Nagui Yassa made the call, with Eddy shoving for 45,300. Yassa took about three minutes before making the call, giving us the largest (early) pot of the tournament.
A. Nonymous: A♠ J♣
Eddy: A♣ K♣
Yassa: Q♥ 10♥
Flop: 3♣ 4♣ 6♣
Eddy flopped the nut-flush, and had both of his opponents drawing dead. "That''ll do it," Michael said, as his opponents collected their things to exit the table.
Michael Eddy - 83,000 (207bb)
