The Bodog $70,000-guaranteed tournament required a huge overlay once again on Tuesday night. The tournament lured 1,031 players to pay the $50 buy-in, resulting in an overlay of $18,450. Bodog hosts two $70,000-guaranteed tournaments each week on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (today) at 8:30 p.m. EST, and both tournaments have been regularly spreading overlays, providing excellent value for players.
The final table began with Duppy Conqueror in the chip lead with more than $650,000 and maynard7 in second with more than $500,000. Telly33 was the short stack with just under $150,000. Maynard7's stack shrunk at a relatively continuous rate until he was eventually eliminated in sixth ($3,010). Meanwhile, Telly33, who was actually the one to eliminate maynard7, had come back from behind and now sat in third with $394,000 in chips.
Duppy Conqueror was still in the lead at this point, with $907,000 in chips (after having had almost $1.2 million). From then, Duppy Conqueror's stack began a downward trend until it came down to three-way play, when he was finally down to the felt against the current chip leader, skeptix. First, Duppy Conqueror doubled through skeptix with pocket queens versus skeptix's 10
2
(skeptix had pushed all in preflop from the small blind for $2.3 million and Duppy Conqueror called in the big blind with his remaining $335,000). The queens held up and Duppy Conqueror now had close to $670,000.
In the very next hand, skeptix pushed all in again, this time from the button, and Duppy Conqueror again called and showed A9
. Skeptix held K 3 and needed to improve. He did just that when the flop brought a king to give him top pair. Duppy Conqueror failed to pair his ace and he was knocked out in third ($6,300).
It was now skeptix versus Telly33, the previous short stack. Telly33 had just $349,000 in chips compared to skeptix's $2.7 million. A quick succession of all-ins brought Telly33's stack to $1.2 million within a minute. However, less than two minutes later it would be all over.
With blinds at $30,000-$60,000, Telly33 ($912,000) raised to $835,700 in the small blind and skeptix ($2.2 million) reraised enough to put Telly33 all in. Telly33 called and showed J 7 and skeptix turned over pocket threes for the lead. The board ran out K
Q 3 9 2, giving skeptic an unneeded set to eliminate Telly33 and win the tournament. Skeptic earned $17,500 for his victory in the event.
The final standings were as follows:
1) skeptix – $17,500
2) Telly33 – $9,800
