The British players appear to be in top form in this 2010 WSOP tournament. With two bracelets won by Praz Bansi (Event # 5: $1,500 NL Hold’em) and James Dempsey (Event #9:$1,500 Pot Limit Hold’em), another two English players were present at the final table of event #17 – $5,000 NL Hold’em.
Paul Foltyn finished in 8th position with $79,957, while Team Titan’s Sam Trickett came in 2nd place with a significant sum of $505,725.
The American player Jason Dewitt took home the bracelet and $818,959 in winnings. He started the heads-up as chip leader and eventually won after almost two hours of tough face-to-face competition.
Final Hand:
Dewitt and Trickett are all-in preflop. Trickett leads with A-7 against Dewitt’s 8-T. Though trapped by Tricket, Dewitt’s two cards are alive.
Flop: 8 ♦ 6 ♠ 5 ♣
Dewitt hits the top pair and the Englishman lands a straight draw.
Unfortunately for the Team Titan player, didn’t hit one of his 11 outs.
Turn: 6 ♣
River: 5 ♥
Dewitt emerged as champion as Sam Trickett was forced to accept the “never satisfying” 2nd place. All in all, Tricket’s performance was simply magnificent.
Well played and congratulations!
