PLAY-BY-PLAY COVERAGE

This was a tremendous Final Table Championship! The chip leadership changed hands many times. Congratulations to all players!

STARTING STACK: Each player starts with 10000 units. Units are free and have no exchange for cash, prizes, or other things of value. Each player also has one "re-entry" option for another stack of 10000 units, but only after they have gone "all-in" and busted out.

615 2500/5000 Holdem In a monster 3-way pot with 2 all-ins, Chris Lackore's pair of Aces hold up over Don Crosbie's queens and Tim Moran's pocket Kings. Crosbie must re-enter and Moran busts out. Picture below.

750pm 10000/20000 Holdem With both players all-in, the board to the turn shows J-J-Q-6. With a deuce on the river, Don Crosbie's 8 out-kicks Fabian Ramos' 5 to win the hand and the August Championship! The final hand is pictured below.

 

  CONSOLATION   John Rogers takes down the final hand to take 1st place in the multi-table consolation event. Ironically, it's a battle of high hands in Lowball when Rogers' King high beats Marcia Keat's Ace high to win it all!

Congratulations to all players who made the August 2006 Championship a memorable event!
