The first one to the general table this evening will be the last one standing. Our final two would enter the last table at much different times as AndyUK18 was the last person to say a second round victory in tonight's $50,000 Battle of the Planets Triple Shootout freeroll. But, bigbluffzinc smashed the second one so fast, the opposite eight tables still had at least four players playing! $12,000 taken away by the June champ bigbluffzinc who let AndyUK18 do the dirty work of eliminating player while sitting at the chip lead. Read the street to victory below.
The first round would end with Rb)bolov and latenthreat dueling for the overall spot within the round of 81 and assurance of getting rid of $195.00 today. With the blinds at 125/250 ante 25 latenthreat min-raised from the button as Rb)bolov covered and shoved for 5,360 as latentthreat made the decision for slightly less with a couple of ducks 2♥2♣. The killer deuce next to the ace within the door A♣ 2♦ 8♦ Q♣ 7♦ would knock Rb)bolov right down to 270 chips. Those chips were donated at the next hand as 80 other players gathered up their belongings for nine new tables in round two.
bigbluffzinc wasted little time in securing the primary final table seat knocking out all eight opponents in under an hour. While bigbluffzinc didn't final table the inside track 2012 Event #29-H after ending day one third within the chipcount, the Supernova is assured a shot at a title tonight.
After Tino Sp finished off dombomain33 in 11th place, all eyes moved to Table 6 where AndyUK18 was seeking to fight off the aggressive TiltFish14 for the general open seat. Either side would survive big all-ins with their tournament life at the line however it was AndyUK18 who would battle back and grab the last seat. Because the blinds moved as much as 150/300 ante 25 the pair shoved preflop with TiltFish14 covering. AndyUK18's ace high T♦A♣ nudged out TiltFish14's K♦Q♦ for the 13,310 chip pot at the all-low 3♣ 4♠ 2♠ 8♦ 8♠ board and took the remainder of the guy UK player's chips at the subsequent hand to startup the overall table below:
Seat 1: lesus86 (1500 in chips)
Seat 2: le vla enfin (1500 in chips)
Seat 3: martinez92pl (1500 in chips)
Seat 4: Tino Sp (1500 in chips)
Seat 5: bigbluffzinc (1500 in chips)
Seat 6: AndyUK18 (1500 in chips)
Seat 7: FAIANO89 (1500 in chips)
Seat 8: bencb789 (1500 in chips)
Seat 9: Sam 2four (1500 in chips)
martinez92pl would attempt to rally the opposite eight players for a nine-way chop worth around $4K. But, rather than the active railbirds, martinez92pl wouldn't receive many replies except a couple of dissenters.
A quick, but standard ending
Set over set never goes well for one player. Today that player could be Sam 2four after raising to 60 chips through the opening 10/20 blinds with pocket sevens 7♦7♠ receiving two calls from Tino Sp and le vla enfin. Tino Sp would lead out for 118 from the massive blind after the 7♥Q♦9♥ flop getting Sam 2four to lift with bottom set to 310. Not more finesse from Tino Sp shoving for 1,440 as Sam 2four quickly called all-in to look Tino Sp's flopped set of nines 9♠9♦ and exit in ninth place ($775.00).
le gone
Shortly after the tournament moved into the 50/100 blind level, shorstcked le vla enfin needed chips in a rush to stick in contention for the that $12K prize. AndyUK18 made a min-raise from early position at it folded around to le vla enfin within the small blind holding pocket fives 5♥5♣ and only 675 chips total. The shortstack three-bet all-in as AndyUK18 quickly called with jacks J♣J♦ as both watched the Q♦ 3♣ Q♠ T♠ 2♦ board miss both players to award le vla enfin $1,200.00 in eighth place.
Shortstack slayer
Knocking out le vla enifin was not enough for AndyUK18 as four hands later another Battle of the Planets contestant was sent off. martinez92pl pleaded with the table for almost duration of the Polish player's final table for an excellent chop, but was eliminated wanting receiving $4K after shoving 854 chips from early position holding T♥A♠ into AndyUK18's pocket kings K♦K♠. A king in the midst of the A♦ K♥ J♠ 5♣ J♥ flop was enough to send martinez92pl home in seventh place ($1,700.00).
PlatinumStar dimmed
VIP PlatinumStar FAIANO89 tried to increase the stay today after clinging to a shortstack for just about three levels. With the blinds still at 50/100 FAIANO89 would three-bet for 500 chips over Tino Sp's min-raise. However, bencb789 jumped in from the massive blind with a shove for 822 chips to force FAIANO89 to name with K♠T♠. Pocket jacks for bencb789 J♥J♠ stood tall at the 9♠ 4♥ 7♣ 7♥ Q♦ board to win a redeeming 1,748 chip pot and knockout FAIANO89 in sixth place ($2,200.00).
Kicker issues

Shortly after the hourly five minute break Tino Sp tried to shove J♣Q♠ in small blind past bigbluffzinc's A♣J♦ within the big blind and the 4♣ 9♣ 4♠ K♥ 9♥ board provided finality to Tino Sp's night in fifth place ($2,735.00).
The bully is back
AndyUK18 is making players pay for sporting a shortstack tonight. With the blinds moving as much as 75/150 and just three hands after Tino Sp's elimination, AndyUK18 would send another one to the locker room. After min raise from the cutoff, AndyUK18 would call lesus86's shove for 735 chips holding pocket aces A♣A♦. Cruel twist for lesus86 who did hold a viable hand in pocket eights 8♥8♣ but not adequate to take the 1,620 chip pot after 2♠ 9♦ K♦ 4♦ 2♦ rained diamonds. lesus86 collected $3,350.00 in fourth place.
Letting Andy do the dirty work
Despite bigbluffzinc sitting at the chip lead, AndyUK18 continued knocking out the opposite players. Five hands from lesus86 leaving the table, AndyUK18 would min-raise from the button as bencb789 shove 1,263 chips within the middle from the small blind. bigbluffzinc tired from watching all this action took a snappy nap as AndyUK18 called with pocket fives 5♣5♦. A flip against bencb789's A♣Q♥ was over expediently as a five landed in the midst of the K♠ 6♣ 5♠ 3♣ K♦ board to finish bencb789's night in third place ($4,500.00).
No deal? Let's GAMBLE!
Neither player was content with sitting back and looking forward to big hand versus big hand to play itself out. Both players were almost equally aggressive and had one another all-in with a possibility to win all of the $12K first prize. But, because of the fateful hand below, just one would take it away:

Cracked aces A♥A♦ for AndyUK18 stemming from bigbluffzinc's flopped trips and rivered boat 5♠Q♠ at the 5♦ 5♣ T♣ 8♠ Q♦ would knock AndyUK18 right down to 1,668 chips. Those chips would go into the center at the next hand preflop with 6♠Q♣. bigbluffzinc's Q♦7♦ proved the mightier because the seven kicker played at the T♦ 4♦ A♠ 5♥ 8♣ board to win the June Battle of the Planets Triple Shootout Freeroll title!
