Team Betfair WSOP - Trial Seven
'Nidhugsbane then removed his fourth final tablist when his 88 cruelly beat Pufik0046’s AA when he flopped a fortuitous 8 and moved him onto 600k.'
Week seven of the Team Betfair WSOP trials saw an astonishing 658 players fight across the virtual felt for those esteemed packages to Las Vegas. Two players would be winning the $4k package, $1500 in travelling expenses and of course the legendary and priceless Betfair hospitality.
For the first time in the last four trials I actually managed to make the first break having worked my initial 2012 chips up to 3800. I stood in 131st place of the 311 players who now remained. Scorpio1978 led the field along with wardappa who both had around 18k with the pair of them 7k clear of their nearest pursuers.
By the time the second break arrived there were 116 players left of which I was 40th on a stack of 12k. TITAS73 had now worked his way to the front of the field on 39k closely followed by x_mary36 on 38k.

Fifteen minutes later and I fell by the wayside when my 88 was beaten by AK with a King on the flop settling my fate and leaving me to finish 82nd. At the third break another 41 players had been killed off and just 40 players were now still fighting for the Vegas packages. BINGLUCK was leading the way with 103k with loconnor second on 98k and the rest languishing at least 30k further back.
Another hour later and 11 players were still in contention and one elimination away from the final table. mickygunn was leading on 243k followed by nemox4 on 218k and x_mary36 on 203k with the other 8 players at least 70k behind.
Within 5 minutes of the restart we reached the final table which was as follows:-
mickygunn 272k
nemox4 221k
x_mary36 176k
BINGLUCK 122k
haganlaa 111k
Nidhugsbane 99k
townie5555 93k
Pufik0046 84k
GHADAFFI 78k
xclass 64k
Nidhugsbane started aggressively on the final table and quickly started accumulating chips. He then knocked out three players in four hands starting with xclass who Nidhugsbane beat 99 v AJ with the board helping neither. Next to fall was townie5555 whose 99 was crushed by Nidhugsbane's AQ when the flop came AQ3. BINGLUCK got all his chips in next with KK but ran into Nidhugsbane's AA and with no king on the board he takes his third scalp.
GHADDAFI started his move when he doubled up of mickygunn AK v 77. Shortly after this x_mary36 finished micky off when his AA held v AK. Nidhugsbane then removed his fourth final tablist when his 88 cruelly beat Pufik0046's AA when he flopped a fortuitous 8 and moved him onto 600k.

nemox4 had been quietly building his stack and moved right into contention when he KO'd haganlaa 88 v Q5. GHADAFFI then made his bid for glory eliminating x_mary36 KK v 77. nemox4 then doubled up of Nidhugsbane but quickly lost most of those he had gained by doubling up GHADDAFI.
The fifth break arrived soon after and with just the three players left the stacks were as follows:- GHADDAFI 800k, Nidhugsbane 366k and nemox4 on 158k.
nemox4 then beat Nidhugsbane twice in quick succession eliminating him on the second one with A4 v QJ leaving us with our two winners!
Congratulations to nemox4 and GHADDAFI who both now join the Betfair WSOP team for event 59. I look forward to seeing both of you out there.
