Final Table Set in Costa
Rica
After almost 12 hours of
poker on the second day
of the PokerStars.net
Latin American Poker
Tour, the nine finalists
have been determined.
Unfortunately, HoRRoR
dropped out as 20th.
85 players returned to
the tables of the
Ciarairi Country Club in
Heredia, west of San
José, to overcome
another marathon day and
determine the nine
finalists.
As the LAPT only
appointed three
tournament days, it's
poker non-stop and a
good stamina could be
more important here than
at other majors.
After five hours of
playing time, the paid
places came within
sight. The Frenchman
Xavier Dutrieu had the
dubious honour of
becoming the bubble boy,
when he received K Q
from the dealer and
pushed his short stack
of 2.5BB all-in, only to
get called by Steven
Silverman in the big
blind with J 6. The flop
with K J 4 still looked
good, and the 8 on the
turn made the Frenchman
even a 90% favourite.
But the 6 on the river
changed everything
again, giving Silverman
the needed two pair and
kicking out Dutrieu
without any prize money. |
