Eckdaten Turnier #56: $1.000 NLH
Mitspieler: 2.525
Buy-In: $900 + $100
Preispool: $2.727.500
Sieger: Mike Kachan ($403.483)
Verlauf Finale
Von den ursprünglich 2.525 Spielern waren am dritten und letzten Tag nur noch 16 übrig. Darunter waren unter anderem Steve Gross, der letztes Jahr ein PLO-Bracelet holte, Matt Salsberg und der Deutsche Bastian Fischer.
Fischer schaffte es jedoch nur bis auf Platz 11, dann ging er für rund 15 Big Blinds mit QTs all-in. Hinter ihm callte Mike Kachan das All-In mit AQs und sein Ass reichte, um die Hand zu gewinnen. Somit wurden es immerhin rund 23.000 Dollar Preisgeld für den Deutschen.
Direkt vor dem offiziellen Final-Table schied Matt Salsberg aus, der mit AKs an Raymond Hensons Zehnen scheiterte. Die Chips gingen auf einem JT6–Flop in die Mitte und Salsberg verpasste seinen Drei-Outer zum Sieg.
Steve Gross begann den Final-Table zwar als Chipleader, aber beim Spiel zu siebt gelangte er recht unglücklich all-in: Mit Fünfen schob er seine Chips aus später Position in die Mitte und hinter ihm callte Mike Kachan das All-In mit Assen. Etwa 15 Big Blinds und mehr als die Hälfte von Gross’ Stack ging bei der Aktion drauf und in der anschließenden Hand ward er schon eliminiert. Wieder hatte er Fünfen, wieder war er vor dem Flop all-in und wieder hatte ein anderer Spieler ein besseres Paar. Diesmal war es Jeff Blenkarn, der ihn mit Zehnen dominierte. Das Board gab Gross abermals keine Hilfe und so schied er auf Platz 7 aus.
Ins Heads-Up schafften es am Ende Mike Kachan und Jeff Blenkarn. Beide hatten sehr ausgeglichene Stacks über mehrere Runden wurden zunächst nur sehr wenige Chips ausgetauscht.
Dann raiste Mike Kachan mit J 6 und Jeff Blenkarn verteidigte seinen Big Blind mit Q 9 . Auf dem J 9 5 –Flop folgten Bet, Raise und Call und auf dem 6 –Turn ging Jeff Blenkarn mit seinem Second-Pair all-in. Mike Kachan callte sofort, und hatte im Showdown die Nase vorn. Die 10 auf dem River war keines der wenigen Outs von Jeff Blenkarn und da Kachan etwas mehr Chips hielt, war nach dieser Hand das Turnier beendet.
Für Mike Kachan war dies der erste richtig große Live-Cash seiner Karriere. In den Jahren 2006 und 2011 schaffte er es je einmal ins Geld bei der WSOP, aber nie sonderlich weit. Für seinen Sieg in diesem Turnier bekam der Amerikaner über 400.000 Dollar und ein goldenes Armband. Herzlichen Glückwunsch!
