PACOOP-30 Results
PACOOP-30 Results

It took just shy of five hours for PACOOP-30: $500 PLO [6-Max, High-Roller] $25K Gtd to see a title claimed. In total, 76 entries generated a prize pool of $35,720, exceeding its guaranteed prize pool by over 40% with the lion's share of $8,712 going to "TryptophanMan".

"TryptophanMan" used one of their three allotted re-entries after being eliminated during the three-hour late registration period, and rode a heater that left them atop the counts when registration closed. At that time, 24 remained with the top 11 set to make it into the money, a feat that would happen when none other than "TryptophanMan" burst the bubble to amass more than one-fourth of the chips in play with 11 remaining.

Thirty minutes later, "TryptophanMan" would once again be the one bursting the next bubble, eliminating "Lachoy14" in eighth place to bring the final table of seven.

On the second hand of the final table, "TryptophanMan" scored another knockout, sending "soccerdad29" out in seventh."AllinWithAJoff" and "sawyer2117" followed shortly thereafter, and five-handed play then occurred for a bit until "TryptophanMan" sent "Morning Waffles" packing in fourth.

Three-handed play began with "TryptophanMan" holding roughly two-thirds of the cips in play, while "MR.20InchArms" and "hunterm708" were nearly even in chips. The two of them wound up playing for stacks with "hunterm708" coming out on top and leaving "MR.20InchArms" crippled. They found two doubles, but eventually ran kings into "hunterm708's" aces and finished in third.

"hunterm708" started the heads-up match with almost a two-to-one advantage and took the lead for a quick moment, but "TryptophanMan" quickly regained momentum, erasing the defecit and building an even bigger chip lead than when they started the match. A few hands later, stacks went in on a queen-queen-three flop with "TryptophanMan" holding an ace and a queen, both of which wound up playing as their trips held versus a backdoor flush draw to claim the title and the accompanying prize of $8,712.

It marked the second title win for "TryptophanMan", who on Sunday, September 20 topped a 191-entry field to win Event #7: $100 PLO [6-Max] $15K GTD for $3,497.29.

"hunterm708" Eliminated in 2nd Place ($6,638)

"hunterm708"
"hunterm708"

In Level 23 with blinds of 5,000/10,000, "hunterm708" raised to 30,000 on the button and "TryptophanMan" three-bet to 90,000. "hunterm708" four-bet for another pot-sized figure of 270,000 and "TryptophanMan" called, bringing about a flop of {q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{q-Clubs}. "TryptophanMan" checked, "hunterm708" jammed for 205,648, and "TryptophanMan" immediately called.

"hunterm708": {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
"TryptophanMan": {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

"TryptophanMan" had a commanding lead after flopping trips with an ace kicker. They needed to fade only running kings, clubs, or wheel outs. The clubs became a real sweat on the turn {7-Clubs}, but the river {k-Hearts} was clean and "TryptophanMan" found themselves with all the chips in the tournament as "hunterm708" finished the tournament in second place, earning $6,638 for their efforts.

Meanwhile, "TryptophanMan" has won PACOOP-30 for $8,712. A full recap will be posted shortly.

"MR.20InchArms" Eliminated in 3rd Place ($5,058)

"MR.20InchArms"
"MR.20InchArms"

In Level 22 with blinds of 4,000/8,000, "TryptophanMan" raised to 20,000 on the button and "MR.20InchArms" made a pot-sized three-bet to 68,000. "hunterm708" re-potted it, cold four-betting to 224,000 and forcing "TryptophanMan" out of the pot before "MR.20InchArms" called all in for 138,000 total.

"MR.20InchArms": {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs}
"hunterm708": {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs}

"MR.20InchArms" had run kings into aces and was in need of assistance. They found extra outs on the flop {7-Spades}{5-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} to maintain their exact equity going to the turn, which appeared {10-Clubs} to add heaps more outs to their total. Unfortunately, all their hope bricked on the river {3-Hearts} and their kings remained second best to the aces of "hunterm708" to result in them taking third place in the tournament for a payday of $5,058.

In Level 22 with blinds of 4,000/8,000, "Morning Waffles" raised the pot to 28,000 in the cutoff and "TryptophanMan" three-bet to the size of the pot, making it 92,000 to go in the small blind. "Morning Waffles" four-bet jammed for 112,196 and "TryptophanMan" called.

"Morning Waffles": {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}
"TryptophanMan": {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{10-Clubs}

"Morning Waffles" found themselves running into pocket kings, and while they found extra flush outs on the flop {10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, they never got any closer as the turn {3-Clubs} and river {j-Diamonds} completed the runout with them finishing with nothing more than ace-high. The pot was sent to "TryptophanMan" with top two pair and "Morning Waffles" became the fourth-place finisher in the tournament as a result.

"AllinWithAJoff"
"AllinWithAJoff"

In Level 20 with blinds of 3,000/6,000, action folded around to "hunterm708" on the button and they limped in. "AllinWithAJoff" was in the small blind and potted it, raising to 24,000. "hunterm708" called and the flop dropped {q-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. With 54,000 in the pot and 71,000 behind, "AllinWithAJoff" made a pot-sized bet and called off the rest when "hunterm708" raised to put them all in.

"AllinWithAJoff": {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts}
"hunterm708": {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{8-Spades}{9-Clubs}

"AllinWithAJoff" had flopped top set but needed to fade the remaining clubs in the deck to stay alive. The turn {2-Diamonds} complied, but the river {7-Clubs} spelled disaster, giving "hunterm708" a flush to earn the best hand and knock out "AllinWithAJoff" as the sixth-place finisher in the tournament.

In Level 20 with blinds of 3,000/6,000, "soccerdad29" limped under the gun and action folded around to "TryptophanMan", who was on the button and raised the pot to 27,000. The players in the blinds folded to put action back onto "soccerdad29" and they called to bring a flop of {k-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}.

First to act, "soccerdad" led out with a pot-sized bet of 63,000 and "TryptophanMan" raised to put them all in for their last 21,485. A call was made.

"soccerdad29": {j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs}
"TryptophanMan": {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{6-Spades}

"soccerdad29" had flopped a gutshot straight and flush draw but were behind their opponent's pocket aces. The turn {2-Hearts} and river {k-Hearts} left them dry and they were eliminated from the tournament in seventh place on just the second hand of the final table.

"Lachoy14"
"Lachoy14"

In Level 20 with blinds of 3,000/6,000, "TryptophanMan" raised to 18,000 on the button and "Lachoy14" defended in the small blind. Action went heads up to a flop of {q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and "Lachoy14" check-called a continuation-bet of 21,000 from "TryptophanMan", which was half of the size of the pot.

The turn came {2-Clubs} and "Lachoy14" checked again."TryptophanMan" continued with a second-barrel of 63,000 and "Lachoy14" check-jammed for 97,412. "TryptophanMan" called.

"Lachoy14": {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Spades}
"TryptophanMan": {q-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Spades}

"TryptophanMan" Eliminates "DomeGod69420" on the Bubble

"TryptophanMan"
"TryptophanMan"

In Level 18 with blinds of 2,000/4,000, "DomeGod69420" entered the hand with 155,000 after losing a pot to "g0rnman" last level. They opened to 12,000 in the hijack and "TryptophanMan" three-bet to 40,000 in the small blind. "DomeGod69420" called the pot-sized three-bet and the two saw a flop of {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}.

"TryptophanMan" made a continuation-bet of 20,000 and "DomeGod69420" called, bringing the turn {2-Hearts}. With 124,000 in the middle, "TryptophanMan" bet the pot and "DomeGod69420" called all in for less, totaling just shy of 95,000.

"DomeGod69420": {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{j-Hearts}
"TryptophanMan": {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades}

"TryptophanMan" had turned a wheel to pull ahead of the top two pair of "DomeGod69420", who found themselves needing to hit a full house or a ten for Broadway to stay alive. Instead, the river {j-Clubs} left their hand second best and they were eliminated in 12th place as the official bubble finisher of PACOOP-30.
