Tonights tourney was a $2+1 rebuy and there was equal parts tight equal parts loose play at the table. Early on Sean was taking down pots like he owned it. He probably caused most of the rebuys. In frustration some saw him as the "donkey king" others the "king of rebuys". Sean did succumb to the bad flop gods when as the aggressor he flopped top pair and a good kicker while Jeff with wired twos flopped his set. This put Sean out and made Jeff a dominating chip leader at the end of the rebuy period.
Action continued tight as everone was aware of the bubble situation and Jeff's large stack (about a 4:1 stack) but even the tall must fall at some point. Trinity hit some good hands to build back up from the low stack and become a contender in the race to not go out on the bubble. Matt of course became frustrated when Trinity would hit the board and Matt could not continue. It all came to a head when Matt with a set of 6's decided to look Trinity up when Trinity pushed all in. Only to find Trinity also had a set of 6's with a 9 kicker to Matt's 7. Matt finished 4th.
In the money, action continued with some aggression since blinds and antes where getting higher. Trinity put a dent in Jeff's stack to take the lead when his AQ flopped 2 pair for a pot of about $10k. Within a couple of hands Jeff took another hit when his wired 8's allin preflop was called by Brian with Ax. Brian flopped the A and ended with a straight for about $12k. Now crippled with a short stack($1.5k) Jeff has little choice but to push all in. This worked the first time but not the second when Trinity (A6) called Jeff (J8). The ace paired and Jeff was out 3rd.
Now Heads up and chip stacks are almost exactly even. Play continued with the lead bouncing between Trinity and Brian. Both of which were surprised to be heads up. Trinity flopped top pair Qs to be called allin by Brian's wired Aces. Trinity goes out 2nd and Brian finishes 1st. Will Brian reclaim the online points lead with this win? We shall see.
