Germany’s Jorg Peisert took down the $3,000 Triple Chance NL Holdem bracelet, following Carsten Joh’s $1,500 NL Holdem win, to make it back to back WSOP victories for Germany. 16 players returned to the tables of the $3,000 Triple Chance NL Holdem event, but at the end of the day only one would be left. Jorg Peisert survived all challengers, taking down the $506,800 first prize and the gold jewelry that came with it.
Jason Dewitt started the final day in the chip lead, and he would use that advantage to push through all the way to second place
Vladimir Kochelaevskiy was the short-stack when play resumed, but he managed to double up through Alex Millar to avoid an early elimination.
Millar took another hit from Peisert next to continue his downward spiral. Kochelaevskiy was well on track to further pump his stack when he got it all-in on his pocket rockets against Michael Katz’s K,Q. The flop however brought A,10,J rounding up his pair to a set but giving Katz a Broadway straight. No help came on the turn or the river and the Russian was done.
An Tran busted out next in 15th. Joe Patrick followed him to the rail soon in 14th place. Alex Millar ran his pocket 8s into Michael Katz’s A,Q next and was eliminated when the flop landed a Q.
Eric Lynch was the next victim, and Thomas Applegate’s elimination in 11th place set the final table.
The official final table was set a few hands later, when Max Greenwood decided to stake his tournament life on a pair of Js he’d picked up. He was called by Jorg Peisert with A,K and the flop landed an A to make short work of Greenwood’s Js.
Wes Watson was the first victim of the final table: his pocket 7s went up against Jason Dewitt’s Kojack and lost when a J landed on the turn.
The dinner break found Jorg Peisert in the lead, and he was keen on extending his lead after the break. He eliminated William Erickson who’d pushed all-in against his pocket Qs.
Michael Katz went all-in preflop against Karga Holt, holding K,Qs against the latter’s A,Ks. The flop gave Katz a boat though and Holt was eliminated.
Katz himself was forced to head to the rail soon after, by Jorg Peisert.
Jason Somerville was eliminated by Jason DeWitt in 5th. Jorg Peisert took over at this point and ejected Michael Noda in 4th, sending Benjamin Gilbert after him with great haste.
Thanks to all these eliminations, Peisert held an overwhelming chip lead heading into the heads-up stage.
The final hand saw Dewitt’s K,4 go up against Peisert’s pocket 9s. The board brought no Ks and Dewitt picked up $313,227 for his second place finish.
Peisert got his $506,800 and one of the final few bracelets the WSOP shall award this summer.
