He had some luck along the way – which kills the rest of us as he doesn’t need it!
Ten players got in tonight! Nice job!
9 min: Fireworks early as Beerhog’s (AA) gets clipped by 7Jokers’ flush (Ad 4d).
16 min: Beerhog (10th) fights as long as he can short-stacked. In typical Poker Stars ‘rub your nose in it’, Beerhog makes the all-in move with (A6), only to run into Doneill’s (AA).
45 min: Down to one table, play tightens up. Boother (99) cripples Doneill (KK).
47 min: This sets up a rare triple all-in with the short-stacked Doneill (9th), Rennzzo (8th) and Boother. Boother’s (99) is the best hand going in and it hangs on.
54 min: ArcticBlast (7th) makes his all-in move with (9c 7c) and runs into Duder and Nahanni with (AK).
56 min: 7Jokers (6th) has to get all-in with his (99) and flop of [J9T], but Boother is holding (Q8).
59 min: Smashing the ‘don’t go all-in before the break cause they will kill you’ myth, Duder does it twice and wins both! He jumps from dead last to 3rd in chips.
Break:
Tiger 4130
Boother 3970
Duder 3170
Nahanni 2205
Mikeniks-Faldo 1525
69 min: I (Mikeniks-Faldo – 5th) have to make my move, calling Boother with (Ad 2d) but no help comes against his (A8).
71 min: Duder (4th) gets all-in with (AQ) against Boother’s (A7), but a [7] hits the flop.
76 min: Nahanni (3rd) gets all-in with (33) against Boother’s (AK), and a [K] hits the flop.
Heads up! Boother has an 11000 – 4000 lead. But the Tiger has some fight left in him!
80 min: 12 – 3 Boother
85 min: 11 – 4 Boother
88 min: Even!
90 min: 9 – 6 Boother
95 min: 10 – 5 Tiger!
100 min: 8 – 7 Tiger
105 min: 8 – 7 Boother!
110 min: 11 – 4 Boother (back where we started)
115 min: Tigercub (2nd) calls the blind and we see a flop of [K85]. Tiger bets his (KT)and Boother calls with his (J5). The turn is a blank, so Tiger bets and Boother calls. The river is a [J].
Tiger bets big, Boother raises and Tiger has to get all-in. Congratulations Boother and a nice heads up battle!

I see the new player...and it is not a new player.
I think it is Beerhog or 7Jokers.
Wait - I see the shoes - it's Matchy!
T-Cub, that was a very fun heads up battle!!
I do have to admit, it certainly was my night. I got lucky more than my fair share of times. We have all been there to experience that.....well, except for Mike Niks.....I don't think PS would ever let him be that lucky!!!
Boother
Check! - Boother. Check.
