Brandt Sets Up Alsup

Anthony Thompson

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Keith Brandt opened with a raise from under the gun and then called the three-bet jam Rich Alsup made from late position.

Rich Alsup: {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Keith Brandt: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Alsup got his short stack in the middle with an ace and the {5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop gave him a wheel draw.

The {q-Clubs} turn wasn't a good card for Alsup as it gave Brandt a set of ladies and left him needing a four.

Unfortunately for Alsup, the {7-Spades} completed the board on the river and the MSPT Hall of Famer reentered the tournament.

While PokerNews is here offering live updates from the $1,100 Main Event, we’d be remiss if we didn’t tell you about some of the side events that have taken place out over the past week at the Winter Poker Classic.

In Event #6: $250 Pot-Limit Omaha 8 or Better, 109 entries created a $12,800 prize pool that was paid out to the top 12 players. Among those to cash but fall short of the final table were Keenan Kuhn (12th - $458), Dennis Ruet (11th - $458), and Alexander Lindhoff (10th - $458).

In the end, it was David Bakey who collected every chip in play to capture the WPC trophy, along with first-place $6,538 payday.

Action on the table folded to Alex Winter who raised to 4,000 from the small blind and then snapped-off his 46,000 stack after Josh Alpuerto three-bet jammed for more from the big blind.

Alex Winter: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Josh Alpuerto: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

Winter was behind in a classic race and couldn't find either of his two overs on the {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{k-Clubs} runout ending his tournament.
