Borgata Winter Open – final table set

Posted by: James Carter. - Sat, 2010-02-06 10:23


The 4th day of the 2010 Borgata Winter Open saw a surviving field of 27 players belly up to the tables, in pursuit of the top prize. Tom Marchese and Jeff Matros had excellent day 4 runs, and so did Jeff Madsen who finished 2nd in chips. The top spot for the day went to Sirous Jamshidi though, who amassed a stack of 4.75 million chips.

From the very beginning, it became obvious that there would be no playing around on Day 4. It was do or die time, and all those present at the tables were fully aware of it. The very first hand of the day made a victim: Bernard Collins’ day 4 was cut extremely short. He didn’t spend much time on the rail alone though: he was followed to the pay-out queue by three other players during the first blinds level alone.
It was then Jamshidi’s turn to take over. First, he disposed of David Williams. Williams was forced to shove his short stack into the middle with Kd, Jd. Jamshidi pounced on the opportunity to eliminate another rival and made the call with pocket 3s.
Anthony Campagna remained the short-stack after Williams’ elimination. He staked his poker tournament life on an Ah, 8h he picked up and got called by Jamshidi who had pocket 4s this time. An A landed on the flop but the 4 which fell on the turn, turned the tables once more and sent Campagna to the rail too.
Eric Blair was Jamshidi’s next victim. Blair shoved all-in on a flop of J,7,8, holding pocket 10s. Jamshidi tabled K,J for the lead though, and the turn and the river preserved the status quo to eliminate Blair.

Meanwhile, Lee Childs got busy at another table against Barkley Hamilton. Unfortunately for Childs though, his A,10o was outdrawn by Hamilton’s K,Q and he was relegated to short-stack status. A few hands later, he left the poker tournament for good.
Joseph Wertz bit the dust in 13th place, followed soon by Wade Woelfel in 12th. Chan Pelton appeared the best candidate for the final table bubble boy status, but he pulled off a couple of close calls to stave off elimination. That left Dave Fox and Donald Boivin battling it out for the last final table spot. Boivin got the shorter end of the stick and the final table was set.

the hand details here are wrong. Jamshidi raised to 75K with 44 , campagna raised all in to 296K with A8h Jamshidi called for 70% of his stack .. flop was A J 2 turn was A the river was a two outer 4 ..the best hand won but it looked ugly after trip aces were 95% on the turn...
