Action of the Day
The run of Paggeot partially began when he was able to put a beat on ��Rogggggy�� and eliminated them as the bubble boy. That propelled him into the chip lead with three tables left and he continued to accumulate chips and was the chip leader heading into the final table.
At the final table, "xvuszvs2739" was the first to go when they ran into quads and soon after, ��rebuy1000�� was gone in eighth place. The seven remaining players battled back-and-forth for more than half an hour before Paggeot was dealt ladies and took down ��Freezey42�� in seventh. Paggeot made another elimination with a strong pocket pair when Tim "BishPlz94" Bishop was ousted by cowboys in sixth place and he found yet another bounty when taking out ��DeeerTaaaY�� in fifth place when he flopped a pair and made two pair on the turn.
With four players remaining, Paggeot was at one point the short stack and was dangerously close to elimination when his king-ten ran into ace-ten but found a miracle king on the turn to stay alive. That hand crippled ��flopping air�� who then fell on the next hand in fourth place to ��luckyduckylucky��. Paggeot was at risk again three-handed but his jacks held against the king-nine of "dankecomwieder", who was gone in third on the hand after that.
When heads-up play began, Paggeot was nearly a 3:1 dog, but he eventually found himself with the chip lead without even once being at risk and with only a few showdowns. That style continued and Paggeot found himself with an overwhelming lead soon enough. Eventually, Paggeot got ��luckyduckylucky�� all-in in a spot where he was a big favorite, holding ace-king against king-ten, and when the board ran out bricks, Paggeot was on the receiving end of the first-place title, $9,794 in total winnings, and a shiny trophy.
