PokerStars 2008 World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP): Day 4 Summary Report 0001

It was a very busy Day 4 in the 2008 World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) at PokerStars on Monday, due to a needed second day of play in Event #6, $500+30 NLHE, assured by the massive number of entrants who began action on Sunday. Three WCOOP bracelets were awarded in the day's action, with Event #6 winner Calvin32 taking down the night's largest prize of $452,085.50.

WCOOP Event #6: $500+30 NLHE

The first two-day event of the WCOOP was the $500+30 NLHE event. The 7,351 entrants created a prize pool of 3,675,500 with 72 making it to an impromptu Day 2 to battle it out for the $452,086.50 first-place prize. Among the ones who made it to Day 2 but fell short of the final table were Kenny "Kenny Rap" Weinstein in 18th place ($9,188.75), Andre Akkari in 47th place ($5,880.80), Alex "AJKHoosier1" Kamberis in 50th place ($5,880.80), and horryclutch in 62nd place ($5,513.25).

The chip counts to start the final table were:

Solovka - 22,993,538

Calvin32 - 15,873,618

adonislee - 12,046,474

DUBBZZ - 6,961,294

Yo Burger - 6,261,674

Roland_NL - 3,300,096

cassie13 - 2,525,362

Ben "randomcrayon" Barrows - 2,352,334

Papio Papio - 1,195,610

With blinds and antes at 100,000/200,000/20,000, Papio Papio was the first one eliminated. From middle position, Papio Papio moved all in for 695,610 and cassie13 reraised all in, successfully isolating the action with K?Q?. Papio Papio showed A?6? but was not happy to see the board roll out Q?8?K?5?5?, eliminating him in ninth place for $25,728.50. The next to fall was Yo Burger. Solovka raised to 500,000, Yo Burger moved all in for just under five million from the button with A?10?, and Solovka quickly called with Q?Q?. The board ran out 3?4?K?6?6? and Yo Burger earned $42,268.25 for eighth place. From the small blind, Ben "randomcrayon" Barrows moved all in for 2,872,334 with K?Q? and Calvin32 called, showing A?5?. The A?9?2? flop left Barrows looking for a diamond, but the turn and river were the 5? and K?. This busted Ben "randomcrayon" Barrows in seventh place for $64,321.25.

DUBBZZ was eliminated when the blinds and antes were raised to 125,000/250,000 and 25,000. DUBBZZ and Solovka saw a flop of Q?J?8? and all of DUBBZZ's chips found their way to the middle with K?J? and was well ahead of Solovka's 3?3?. Amazingly though, the 3? hit the turn and DUBBZZ was drawing dead. The meaningless river card was the 6? and DUBBZZ earned $95,563 for sixth place. Cassie13 was next to be felted when all in preflop, cassie13 held A?6? but was trailing Solovka's A?8?. The 8? turn card sealed the deal, eliminating cassie13 in fifth place for $132,318. With the blinds and antes at 150,000/300,000/30,000, adonislee was eliminated in fourth place. Calvin32 made it 825,000 to go from the cutoff and adonislee moved all in from the button for 3,442,861 with K?J?. Calvin32 called and showed Q?Q?, which would take down the hand when the board brought no king. Adonislee took home $169,073.

Roland_NL quietly made it through to the final three but would wind up as the third-place finisher. Down to 3,705,192, Roland_NL got all in with 10?10? but was up against Solovka's J?J?. The board came out 4?K?7?4?Q? and Roland_NL won $205,828 for his run.

Heads-up play began with these chip counts:

Solovka: 53,811,283

Calvin32: 19,698,717

The duel was fierce and competitive, lasting over two hours. It was a stark contrast from the rest of the final table, which went from nine players to two in a mere 68 minutes. The chip lead went back and forth throughout, with Calvin32 finally emerging victorious. At the 400,000/800,000/80,000 level, Solovka moved all in for 12,451,283 with K?J? and Calvin32 called with Q?9?. The board ran out 6?6?9?8?5? and Solovka finished as the runner-up, earning $306,169.15, while Calvin32 won Event #6 of the 2008 WCOOP for a $452,085.50 payday.

The final standings were:
