Following a one-week break for some well-deserved tamales and eggnog, the Cash Game World Championship at CoinPoker has returned – and motion on the high of the leaderboard couldn’t be tighter.
The CGWC will wrap up this weekend, leaving gamers with slightly below one week to battle for the highest spot. The winner will obtain a $50,000 engraved Rolex Daytona Ghost and turn out to be the inaugural champion on this debut occasion.
Before Christmas, British high-stakes participant Pr0digy was firmly atop the leaderboard, and that nearly remained the case till a current surge from riggedeck.
Let’s recap a few of the greatest swings and palms from week 4.
Pr0digy Dominance
Before the festive break, riggedeck was third. But, in direction of the top of week 4, he’d closed the hole to lower than $40,000. However, this solely appeared to spur Pr0digy on, who then boosted his revenue to $420,000 and reclaimed a commanding lead.
Part of that run up included an enormous win in opposition to JMBigJoe. At $50-$100 blinds, Pr0digy made it $240 on the button with Q
J and JMBigJoe three-bet to $950. Pr0digy referred to as.
The flop was beautiful for Pr0digy coming down 10
85. JMBigJoe wager small – $600 into $2,000 – and Pr0digy elected to simply name with the flush draw, gutshot straight draw, and two overs.
The brick 2 on the flip modified little, however JMBigJoe immediately overbet for $4,800. Again, Pr0digy referred to as.
The 9 on the river accomplished the flush and, when JMBigJoe wager quarter pot, Pr0digy moved all in. It was a crying name from JMBigJoe, who flipped over pocket eights for a flopped set which was now no good. A large $57,300 pot.
Then, every thing modified on Sunday night time. Not solely did riggedeck make huge strides, going from $424,000 to $496,000, however Pr0digy suffered a uncommon dropping session, dropping from $466,000 to $439,000 in earnings. Suddenly, riggedeck finds himself with a $57,000 lead.
VIP Game Causes Chaos
On Sunday, CoinPoker opened up a Nik Airball VIP desk. The deep-stacked reside money sport lineup included iWasOnly17, riggedeck, AbsoluteTopUp, DKaladjurdjevic, and lolvoidaments, in addition to ‘NikAirball’ himself.
With Airball (actual identify Nikhil Arcot) being identified for his loose-aggressive and entertaining model, and a gentleman’s settlement made that gamers would continuously high up to verify they had been at the least 200 large blinds deep, the stage was set for some huge swings – with riggedeck popping out on high.
KevinPaque Out Of Contention?
Meanwhile, KevinPaque dropped $95,000 and fell to fourth. Just like on the finish of week 3, he’s performed essentially the most palms of any CGWC participant. He’ll be disenchanted to have fallen at one of many ultimate hurdles, however remains to be nicely up $170,000 as a comfort prize.
One hand he’ll actually remorse was a $30,000 pot in opposition to MunEZStaRR. KevinPaque limped blind on blind at $50-$100 and MunEZStaRR popped it as much as $350, at which level KevinPaque made it $1,800 holding simply Ok2. He then wager each road (half pot, half pot, all in) on the J6
6
J4 board, just for his opponent to flip over pocket aces.
The solely different participant with a practical shot of upsetting the present high two is the pre-event favourite, Linus Loeliger, who performs underneath the identify LLinusLL0ve. The Swiss professional is in third with 1 / 4 of one million in revenue, however he’ll want double that to take the primary slot as issues stand, which makes it unlikely. But if anybody can, it’s him.
