Tournament Report
The $3000 No Limit Hold'em Championship of the 2006 Foxwoods Poker
Classic was captured by Sean McCabe as he overcame the challenge of 203
other competitors.
Sean, who hails from Sunny Isles Beach, FL, took home the championship
trophy, commemorative jacket and the top prize of $204,168. Eleven players
gathered at 4 PM to begin the battle for the title. It took only a few hands for
Alex Todd of NYC, NY, to find himself taking home 11th place money of
$10,136. Steven Zoine, the final table chip leader, saw his stack erode quickly
as he lost once with pocket 6's to Hoa Nguyen's A-10 when an A came on the
river and then with A-K to Sean's A-Q when the board came J-6-10-K-3.
Steven, from Merrick, NY, ended up in 9th position with $13,032.
He was all-in on the same hand with David Phan, Cerritos, CA; Steven had
K-Q, David had Q-Q and Jin Kim had pocket 10's. When the turn gave Kim a
set, David and Steve were both out; David was the 10th place winner of
$11,584. With the blinds at 6K/12K and soon to go up, 'Dakota' Happas of
Braintree, MA, had to make a stand; his 9-7 was no match for Sean's pocket
K's and Dakota was in 8th position with $14,480.
The blinds went to 8K/16K and James Kolodny, a resident of Cleveland, OH,
soon found himself all-in with pocket 6's. Gary Rabin had Jim covered by 3K
and called with Q-10; a Q on the turn left Jim in 7th place with $17,376. With
six players remaining, Sean had a comfortable chip advantage. Jin Kim of
Flushing, NY, lost a chunk of chips to Gary Rabin's pocket K's when his A-K did
not improve. Shortly thereafter, his K-5 lost to Sean's AJ as Sean caught a J
on the flop.
Kim collected $23,168 for 6th place. Gary Rabin added to his stack by
eliminating Hoa Nguyen and Anthony Salerno in rapid succession. Hoa, of
Sterling, VA, was all-in with 9-5; Gary's Q-9 was enough to leave Hoa in 5th
good for $28,960. Anthony Salerno, Howell, NJ, with Q-10 fell victim to Gary's
A-J; Anthony would return home with 4th place and $40,544 for his efforts.
Gary Rabin, a New York City resident, tried to cut into Sean's ever growing
stack. Sean beat back the challenge and soon was relegating Gary to 3rd
position when Gary failed to catch his straight. His reward was $60,816. Two
were left for the title and with the blinds at 10K/20K it was soon over.
Raymond Millard, a resident of Tamarac, FL, was all-in with 5-6 after a K-5-3
flop but Sean had K-7 and Raymond was the 2nd place winner of $110,048.
