Day: 5
As long he isn't looking for his kebab...
Action became three-handed at Hand #95. John Tabatabai was ahead with 3.5 million, with McCullough was in second with 2.6 million. Annette_15 was the shortstack with 1.1 million.
It didn't take too long before fireworks would explode. On Hand #97, Annette_15 doubled up with Q-J after she caught a Queen on the river to come from behind to beat Tabatabai's pocket Jacks. After that devastating hand, Tabatabai lost the chiplead as McCullough jumped back on top. Annette_15 and Tabatabai were about even in chips.
On Hand #98, Tabatabai took the chiplead back from McCullough. He has won 27.5% of the total pots at the final table.
Here's the breakdown of pots won percentages over the first 100 hands:
John Tabatabai - 27.5%
Matt McCullough - 16.5%
Annette_15 - 15%
Now John Tabatabai gets a walk from small blind McCullough.
John Tabatabai: Evens
Matthew McCullough: 1-5
Annette Obrestad: Evens
He now has so many chips he can't get to his hole card camera. He raises to 70,000 and wins the blinds.
As a thank you, Badbeat paid for him to play in this tournament, and it looks like he has done them proud, as John Conroy and a mob in Badbeat shirts are cheering him on from the rail.
Seat 4: Annette Obrestad – 2,219,000
Seat 6: Matthew McCullough – 2,601,000
