One of the most productive golf tournaments on the earth finalized in Augusta, Georgia this afternoon as Jordan Speith tried to carry on for a wire-to-wire victory. The general table of the $425,000 guarantee Sunday Warm-Up featured OverTheTop43 looking to run over the table with five players left similar to Speith holding a large lead on the turn. But, similar to Spieth who looked human after walking through Amen's Corner, the large chip leader would get caught, as greengrass67 came back to take it down this week winning $76,124.73.
Read on below for greengrass67 run at this week's title.
While the beginning of the eighth hour of play started action-filled with several eliminations, the carnage slowed enough towards the top that 12 players would carry their chips stacks into the ninth hour.
Among those not continuing on, sava-lenivec, a past Warm-Up champion from 2013, took a one-two punch to the chin getting aces cracked then losing a flip to head from a healthy stack to out in 16th place ($1,782.66).
Ten minutes into the ninth hour Omon Ra AA perished in 11th place mentioning hand-for-hand play. Then the following hand with the blinds as much as 50K/100K ante 10K kimokh would min-raise getting calls from TISSO1709 and bartek901. A coordinated 8♣ T♥ 9♠ flop got bartek901 to steer out for 346K as kimokh shoved for 2.87 million. Flopping the straight J♦7♦ made calling all-in easy for bartek901 as kimokh was not dead yet after notching top set T♠T♣. Sure enough the board paired at the turn 9♦ and with the moot river 5♥, the overall table started up below:
Seat 1: BaNe.TrEnD (1688751 in chips)Seat 2: mmetsla (937771 in chips)Seat 3: menglong (1895751 in chips)Seat 4: MaxBMM (1012956 in chips)Seat 5: OverTheTop43 (4535853 in chips)Seat 6: TISSO1709 (3801016 in chips)Seat 7: kimokh (5462119 in chips)Seat 8: lulDocuments (2189659 in chips)Seat 9: greengrass67 (2566124 in chips)
Seven minutes into the overall table with the blinds moving as much as 65K/130K ante 13K MaxBMM would shove 1.24 million UTG as TSSO1709 joined in by re-shoving 3.58 million. No person else dove in as MaxBMM turned up pocket eights 8♠8♦ while TISSO1709 would seeking to win the flip with A♥K♦. Took until the river to get there 4♥ T♣ 3♣ 5♥ 2♦ to notch a wheel as MaxBMM was asked to depart in ninth place ($4,095.30).
Still within the same blind level ten minutes later, mmetsla, who took fourth here last year earning $26K, would lead off with a shove for 1.1 million. Folding all of the way around to greengrass67 within the small blind who shoved 3.48 million to push back BaNe.TrEnD. It worked as BaNe.TrEnD folded and greengrass67 showed two queens Q♠Q♣, slightly better than mmetsla's sevens 7♣7♥. Also slightly better than sevens? Another queen at the flop 9♣ Q♥ J♦ 4♥ 6♥ signifying mmetsla's result in eighth place ($6,986.10).
On the following hand OverTheTop43 would raise to 292,500 as lulDocuments would three-bet to 520K. Aptly named OverTheTop43 four-bet to 5.39 million. LulDocuments signed off the remainder of the short-stack, calling all-in with 308K and pocket sevens 7♥7♣. OverTheTop43's Q♥K♠ emerge victorious with a king at the river 8♣ 8♥ T♦ 2♦ K♦ as lulDocuments wrote the last memo of this tournament in seventh place ($11,804.10).
Moving directly to the 80K/160K ante 16K blind level menglong would shove 1.8 million. Menglong also took fourth place here back in January trying to improve on that finish with pocket fives 5♦5♥. Unfortunately, OverTheTop43 held a large chip lead and pocket tens T♥T♠ which made it during the 7♥ 3♠ T♣ 8♦ 7♦ board to finish menglong's night in sixth place ($16,622.10).
Shortly after the ninth hourly break with the blinds moving as much as 100K/200K ante 20K kimokh would push all-in from the hijack seat because it folded to TISSO1709 within the big blind. Holding big slick K♦A♣ TISSO1709 made the decision as kimokh turned up nines 9♣9♥. Not an excellent night for pocket pairs because the king hit the turn J♥ Q♦ J♠ K♣ 4♦ earning kimokh $21,440.10 in fifth place.
On the following hand BaNe.TrEnD tried an identical strategy as kimokh by opening the betting with a shove for 1.95 million and likely enough the large blind, this time greengrass67, would make the decision. The chances wouldn't be even going to the flop as greengrass67 showed sevens 7♦7♠ facing BaNe.TrEnD's 2♠A♠. The 2 would connect, but a scarcity of aces and spades 9♥ 2♥ 6♠ 5♣ 3♥ would send BaNe.TrEnD away in fourth place ($28,185.30).
Three-handed play would last awhile as all three enjoyed the wiggle room between their stacks and the blinds. Then with the blinds as much as 200K/400K ante 40K it might all be over after two hands in-a-row.
First, with greengrass67 holding nearly two-thirds of the chips in play, the chip leader would shove 15.1 million from the button as OverTheTop43 made the decision with 2.68 million and 6♥A♠. OverTheTop43 would hold a slight advantage pre-flop against greengrass67's T♠Q♦ however the hand isn't over until the five cards are laid around the table as a 10 8♦ 8♥ T♦ 3♥ 2♥ hit the center handing $40,953.00 to OverTheTop43 in third place.
Then, TISSO1709 desired to forego any long-winded heads-up match by shoving immediately for 5.5 million with 9♦Q♣. Greengrass67 was down for gambling and made the decision with 5♥A♦. Both players would pair their top cards as greengrass67 notched an exclamation point A♥ 4♥ Q♥ 4♠ A♣ at the river to win $76,124.73 as this week's Sunday Warm-Up champion!
