More Enthusiasm for the PPC

Nível 7

Hopping in the 50k PPC, my favorite poker tournament in the world. Trying to improve on last years 9th place run. Good luck to everyone that bought a piece, and to me I guess.

Brian Rast: 6♥5♣4♦/6♦7♣6♣9♥
Dan Zack: XxXxXx/8♥8♦6♠K♥
Andrew Brown: XxXx/5♠7♠

Action started with Andrew Brown brining it in with the 5♠. Dan Zack then brought it in and Brian Rast did too. Each player was pitched fourth and Zack bet. Rast called and Brown Folded. On fifth street Rast called another bet from Zack. Sixth also went bet and call and seventh was pitched to each player.

Zack then slowed down and checked. Rast thought for a moment before putting out the bet. Zack made the call but shook his head and mucked when he saw Rast had the case six for trips as one of his down cards.

Rast would scoop and Zack would be left on fumes.

Nível 7

No-Limit Hold 'em

Chris Moneymaker was recently seen leaving the table, with "The Tournamen-ator" as he told PokerNews, Dan cates, gathering his chips.

As told by the players at the table, on a flop of 4♦3♥A♦, action was checked to Daniel Alaei in late position who bet 12,000. Dan Cates called on the button and then Chris Moneymaker check-raised to 50,000 from the small blind.

Alaei folded, but Cates then back-raised all in and Moneymaker called off.

Chris Moneymaker: 10♦9♦
Dan Cates: K♦5♦

Both players had flush draws with Cates holding the better one, but Moneymaker picked up a pair on the 9♥ turn. Cates was bailed out on the river, though, as the 7♦ hit, giving both players a flush, with Cates holding the winning one.
