Tournament Report

8th Place:  Eighth place is determined while playing Hold-em.  David Plastik
moves all-in called by David Williams and Marcel Luske.  The flop is a 5s-8c-
Qh.  Luske checks and Williams bets.  Luske raises; Williams re-raises.  The
flop is finally four bet.  The turn is a 9d; bet by Luske and called by Williams.  
The river is a 8s which is once again bet and called.  Luske shows 8/5 for a
full house; Williams mucks his hand.  All-in Plastik mucks as well and finishes
in 8th place.

7th Place:  In Omaha; Andy Bloch goes all-in.  He is called by Allen Kessler
and Al Ardebili, in the blinds.  The flop is a Js-5s-4c; check/check by Kessler
and Ardebili.  The turn a 9d; once again check/check.  Ardebili bets the 3h on
the river which Kessler calls.  Ardebeli shows A-2-Q-8 for the wheel.  Kessler
tosses his hand into the muck.  Bloch leaves in 7th place.

6th Place:  Sixth place goes down in Omaha as well.  David Levy pushes all-
in and called by Williams and Ardebili.  The board completes with Kd-10s-5d,
As, and 8c.  Williams wins high with a Q-J, nut straight while Ardebili wins
low.  Levy comes up short in 6th place.

5th Place:  Stud is being played during the determination of 5th Place.  
Carlos Mortensen completes with two pair; J’s and deuces.  Williams fills up
with kings full of jacks.  Kessler mucks.  Mortensen ends the tournament in
5th place.

In stud 8/btr, David Williams doubles through Marcel Luske.  Each player
having two pair, Williams A’s and 5’s prove to be the better two pair.  Shortly
thereafter when the game switches to Omaha;  the chip counts are:  
Williams-$30,000, Luske-$88,000, Kessler-$42,000 and Ardebili-$80,000.

4th Place:  Kessler declares all-in and goes to battle with Ardebili.  The flop is
a 6d-Ad-Jc, turn Qh and river 4d.  Ardebili rivers the flush.  Without a low,
Kessler sinks into 4th place.

3rd Place:  Ardebili ends the tournament in stud bringing in the action with
the low board card.  Williams raises; Ardebili re-raises all-in.  When the dust
clears, Williams shows down two pair; K’s and 2’s for two pair to win the pot.  
Ardebili walks to the cashier’s window for a 3rd place win.

The tournament ends with a very exciting round of Stud 8/btr.  Several great
hands are played very well to an enthusiastic audience.  Williams scoops a
very big pot with a 6 straight; 6 low.  Luske is down to about $25,000 while
Williams stacks the balance of the chips; well over $200,000.

2nd Place/1st Place:  The final stud 8 hand has Williams holding a pair of 9’s
in the hole.  His board cards are 3,5,7,6 with a K on seventh street.  Luske,
all-in, has nothing.  His final cards are A,9,3,6,K,10,J.  Marcel Luske finishes in
2nd place.  David Williams unimproved with the pocket 9’s wins 1st place.
