Event 12 - $1,500 Limit Hold'em

Day 3 Completed

And It's All Over -- Jimmy Shultz is the Champion of Event 12 ($257,105)

Zac Fellows was only sitting on 75,000 so the chips were always going to go in on this hand and they duly did preflop.

Fellows holding {3-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}.

Shultz holding {10-Hearts} {3-Hearts}.

Fellows in good shape as we head to the flop...

{Q-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {7-Hearts}

It just got more interesting as the turn comes...

{6-Diamonds}

One more card to potentially end it...

{J-Hearts} !!

The flush comes to give Jimmy Shultz the winning hand and every chip left in the tournament. He becomes our 12th bracelet winner this year winning a cool $257,105.

Congratulations also go to our runner-up, Zac Fellows, who fought to the end and takes home $165,165 for his efforts.

To be honest it was never in doubt because Shultz had his lucky penny under his chair. He found it under his chair on Day One and has kept it under his chair throughout, as he thought it was bringing him luck. He wasn't too far wrong! Shultz had announced that he will be donating 25 percent of his winnings to Charlestown Fire Department so a big pat on the back to him for that genorous gesture.

Winning photos coming shortly.

Not So Fast

Fellows on the Comeback Trail

Fellows, with less that 500,000 in chips needed to make something happen and in back-to-back hands he did just that.

On the first hand Fellows held {A-Spades} {K-Spades} and bet every street on his way to making a flush on the river. The board was {5-Spades} {A-Clubs} {6-Spades} {5-Clubs} {10-Spades}.

The second hand Fellows hit a four on the river to be steal another pot from Shultz.

At this point Fellows is back to 1,100,000.

{3-Clubs}

Shultz checks calls a 100,000 bet from Fellows once more and is relieved to see Fellows turn over {J-?} {J-?} as he's holding {K-?} {K-?}.

Fellows down to under 500,000 and Shultz over 2,100,000.
