Event 13: Douglas Hartwick wins Seniors in Chop Deal

$350 Seniors No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 22: 8,000/16,000/2,000 Ante

They only played a few more hands before going on their first break of the day and didn’t play another.

They took their break-time chip counts to tournament staff and quickly agreed to an ICM chop of the remaining money.

Douglas Hartwick – 593,000
Errol Rosen – 374,000
Larry Klur – 273,000

Hartwick had the big lead thanks to the Kings versus Jacks hand and was awarded the title and $9,123 along the way.

1st: Douglas Hartwick – $9,123
2nd: Errol Rosen – $7,824
3rd: Larry Klur – $7,047

Event 13: Ory Hen – 4th Place ($3,162)

Level 21: 6,000/12,000/2,000 Ante

Things can change quickly and Ory Hen’s tournament ended with a shocker. The four remaining players were in a virtual dead heat with all around the 310,000 average chip mark.

They decided to discuss a chop deal and were ready to pause the clock after one more hand. Errol Rosen folded his hand and Hen insta-shipped from the button. Douglas Hartwick called just as quickly in the small blind to make things interesting.

It started a commotion as they were trying to figure out Hen’s motivation and they saw his JdJh after Larry Klur folded his big blind. Hartwick’s call with KhKd left Hen in trouble and nothing on the board changed it.

Hen was left with less than 30,000 and he put them in under the gun with 6c6s. Rosen called in the dark with Ac5h before the dealer put out the AsTc2d flop. No miracle on the turn or river to send Hen out in 4th place for $3,162 instead of a chop and trophy.

Event 13: Scott Efron – 5th Place ($2,511)

Level 20: 5,000/10,000/1,000 Ante

There’s no slowing them now. Errol Rosen made an uncharacteristic move, per his opponents, when he three-bet shoved with Ts9s after Douglas Hartwick opened to 25,000.

Scott Efron quickly called with 8h8d then fell behind when the flop came 9h7h4s. The 7s turn and Kc river gave Rosen the double. Efron was left with just 11,000 which he shipped in the small blind after a limp from Ory Hen.

Hartwick came along in the big blind to the 4c3c3s flop and the two live players checked. Hartwick bet out after the 9d turn to get a quick fold from Hen.

“Got a boat,” Hartwick said while rolling over 4d4h. Efron was drawing dead with KhQs and was gone in 5th place for $2,511.

Event 13: Mark Dugay – 6th Place ($1,953)

Level 20: 5,000/10,000/1,000 Ante

It took just three hands to get the first all-in and call. Ory Hen and Scott Efron took the first two before Douglas Hartwick opened to 25,000.

Mark Dugay was the short-stack and moved all-in for just under 80,000 and Hartwick quickly called with AcKs. Dugay was ahead for the time being with TsTh but fell behind on the AdKd3h flop. Nothing changed when the turn/river came 7s9d to send Dugay out in 6th place for $1,953.

Ory Hen raised to 16,000 preflop under the gun and Paul Darpino reraised all in for 22,000 total from middle position. Larry Klur called on the cutoff and Mark Dugay called on the big blind. The three live players checked down a board dealt Jd9c3dAdQh and then everyone flipped over their cards.

Darpino was eliminated with 9h8h and Klur won the hand with Ac10c. Hen held KcQd and Dugay mucked his cards. Darpino finished in ninth place and took home $837.

Steven Anderson was all in preflop for 68,500 under the gun and both Scott Efron and Paul Darpino got the last of their chips in after the flop was dealt 10h5d3s. All three players then flipped over their cards.

Anderson: 8d8h
Efron: AsAc
Darpino: 3h3c
