Event 8: Chad Policarpio – 5th Place ($1,355)

Level 26: 40,000/80,000/10,000 Ante

There was barely a pause between big hands and Chad Policarpio was the next to try for a double up, but his fate was the same as the others before.

His final hand saw Josh Fulford open to 200,000 from the small blind and Policarpio moved all-in from the big blind with AdJh. Fulford called with the superior AcKh and the ThTd3h6d9c board ran clean to give Fulford the pot. Policarpio had a nice run but had to settle for 5th place money.

Event 8: Cheri Beatty – 6th Place ($1,130)

Cheri Beatty made a few moves at the final table with none of her shoves getting called. She took another shot and this time Josh Fulford looked her up with AhTc.

Beatty tabled 8h8s and asked for an Eight to take the race pressure off. Instead of help, she saw Fulford add gutshot outs on the KsJd5s flop and get there on the Qh turn to leave her drawing dead to 6th pace and the first four-digit payout of the Turbo.

Event 8: Agnes Barton – 7th Place ($904)

The tournament ended for Agnes Barton in two big hands. The first happened against Stephen Davidson when her AsQd was beaten by JsTh on the Ks8c7h3c9s board to leave her with just 30,000. Enough for her next ante and small blind.

She managed one double up but was gone two hands later when Chad Policarpio knocked her out with Jh5h over 8c6c.

Event 8: Kostas Papastavrov – 10th Place ($294)

The Turbo format kept things hopping, even at the final table. On the second hand after they got settled, Kostas Papastavrov open-shoved with 6d5d and Johnny Pappas called on the button with AdQh.

Papastavrov’s live cards went away on the Qc3d2h flop and he was left with a gutshot. He missed the Js turn and Kc river to be our first gone from the final table.

Event 8: Turbo in the Money

In the money

The Turbo event quickly played down to the money bubble and it took just three hands to get the rest of the way. Wally Maddah put them in the money when his small blind KsJd was good against William Linderman’s QxJx when the board ran out KdJc8h2d9d.

The field actually lost two players on the hand but it was Linderman’s bigger stack that gave him 27th place money.

Kevin “Kevmath” Mathers, Johnny Pappas, and Cheri Beatty joined Maddah in making the money. With the average stack hovering around 10 big blinds, this is going to move along quickly.

2015 WPO Turboooo

Registration has closed for the Turbo Event 8 and they pipped it up a few entrants from last week. Where this tournament drew 199 entrants this past Sunday, today we have 202 entrants in the field.

A fine showing for a Sunday afternoon.

Of those 202 starters, less than 80 remain after the break and we expect the action to be move at a brisk pace throughout.
