Soeben wurde in Vegas das 1.500 Dollar Hold’em Turnier entschieden. Ein unglaublich großes Teilnehmerfeld von 2.791 Spielern sorgte für einen gigantischen Preispool in Höhe von 3.809.715 Dollar. Am Ende konnte sich Travis Johnson gegen Steve Karp im Heads-Up durchsetzen und gewann 666.853 Dollar, Karp erhielt für seinen zweiten Platz 414.116 Dollar.
Drei Tage hat es gedauert bis dieses Event, auf das es einen Riesenansturm gab, entschieden wurde. Zu Beginn waren Pros wie Humberto Brenes, Kathy Liebert und Evelyn Ng am Start. Der dritte Tag startete mit 33 Spielern, als Chipleader ging Graig Conville mit knapp über einer Million Chips ins Rennen. Der spätere Sieger Travis Johnson verfügte über 458.000 Chips.
Schon zu Beginn des Tages begann der stetige Aufstieg von Johnson, da er sich durch einige fette Pötte, unter anderem gegen Gary Tang und Michael Pesek, einen großen Stack aufbaute. Diesen konnte er mit ins Heads-Up gegen einen aggressiven Steve Karp nehmen. Das Heads-Up dauerte nur etwas über eine halbe Stunde und begann, wie oben schon erwähnt, mit einem Chiplead von Johnson.
Diesen Chiplead konnte er zunächst ausbauen und es schien, als ob Karp auch psychisch nicht mehr viel entgegenzusetzen hatte. Während Johnson lächelte, schien Karp immer depressiver zu werden. Dann bäumte sich Karp aber nochmal auf und ging auf Erhöhungen voon Johnson over the top und brachte den späteren Sieger zu zum folden.
Dennoch konnte Karp die letzte Hand nicht mehr verhindern. Johnsons Chiplead war zu groß. Karp limpte und Johnson schob als Chipleader alles rein. Karp callte und zeigte 5 5 . Johnson hatte A Q . Das Board kam K 10 4 Q J und Johnson hatte das Turnier gewonnen.
