James Van Alstyne - 2nd Place

Hold'em

Hold'em once again provided the action here today as the final hand was decided once we returned to the world's most popular poker variation.

Zac Fellows raised preflop from the button and James Van Alstyne made the call from the big blind.

The flop came down {6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. Van Alstyne checked and Fellows followed up with a bet. Van Alstyne made the call.

The turn was the {J-Hearts} and this time Van Alstyne led with a bet. Fellows raised and Van Alstyne deliberated for a few moments before committing his last chips with a raise. Fellows insta-called and the cards were tabled.

Van Alstyne showed {A-Hearts}{5-Clubs} but when Fellows flipped {6-Hearts}{6-Spades} for a set, it was all over as Van Alstyne was left drawing dead.

The meaningless river was the {3-Spades} and Zac Fellows is crowned champion of Event #21! A great effort by James Van Alstyne, who led throughout this final table and was rarely threatened until heads-up play. He'll be feeling better tomorrow with $192,866 to soften the pain of being so close to the gold.
