Event 8: Todd Altinbas defeats Haim Toorgeman heads up to win tournament

$200 + $40 No Limit Hold’em Black Chip Bounty

Heads up, Todd Altinbas doubled up with Kh9c against Haim Toorgeman’s Th8c when the two got it all in on a 9h8h4h flop and Altinbas would hit a bigger flush when the 6h came on the turn. Haim still had one out to the 7h but the river was the Tc to give Todd the double up.

A few moments later, Haim would move all in from the small blind and Todd would call. Haim held 8h7d and Altinbas had Ac9d. The board ran out Ts4s2s9h3s to give Altinbas the win. Congratulations to both Haim and Todd for their excellent finishes. Toorgeman collected $1,920 for his efforts and Altinbas will take home a Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘n’ Roll Poker Open” trophy and $3,360 for his victory.
