 What was supposed to be Allen Cunningham's 6th bracelet wasnt meant to be, Max Pescatori took it all in this semi-interesting final table of the $2500 Pot-Limit Holdem/Omaha event. 5 of our final 9 had already cashed in this WSOP before, yet none of them had a 2008 bracelet on his wrist yet. Max Pescatori and Allen Cunningham both know how it feels to win a bracelet, Minh Ly was the only one who had made a final table on the 2008 World Series of Poker. Chipleader is the relatively unknown Kyle Kloeckner.
Chipcounts:
Kyle Kloeckner: 494,000
Allen Cunningham: 484,000
Lennart Holtkamp: 253,000
Max Pescatori: 212,000
Kyle Hegeman: 198,000
Greg Hurst: 197,000
Jonathan Depa: 185,000
Minh Ly: 177,400
John-Paul Kelly: 79,000 Really quite a boring match in the beginning, all eyes seem to be on Allen Cunningham. We see coinflips, dominated hands and the usual 2 pair vs set etc. Oh, and a suckout here and there, like when Cunningham makes a runner-runner straight with A6s against the AQo of Depa, the board even brings 5-4-2 all spades with Depa being the only one with a spade, but Cunningham manages to escape with a  and  on the turn and river. That was the start of quite some action around Cunningham, ending in a 4th place elimination when he ran into the top set of Kyle Kloeckner on Omaha. Not much later on Hold'em, we saw Kloeckner putting Greg Hurst all-in again, this time with A7 vs K7, knocking out Hurst in 3rd place.
Heads-up was between Kyle Kloeckner and Max Pescatori, with a small chiplead for Kloeckner, but when Kloeckner check-raises Pescatori to 350k, Pescatori moves all-in, forcing Kloeckner to fold. This gave him the chiplead and when both flop 2 pair in Omaha it is all over. On a    board, Pescatori had flopped 2 pair, while Kloeckner had bottom 2 pair. The  and  on turn and river didn't help any, and Max Pescatori wins his second bracelet of his carreer and $246,471 with it. He won his first bracelet at the same day the Italian football-squad won the World Championship. This time they can only cheer for the bracelet. Like any real pirate, he just had to show his scarrr!
