WSOP 2011 November Nine Day Two

25 November 2011 No Comment

Last week I posted part 1 of our WSOP Main Event final table summary. Today I will continue this summary for the top three players of the biggest event available in casinos for USA players. When it became 3-handed, Martin Staszko had 35 big blinds, Ben Lamb had around 45 big blinds, and Pius Heinz had over half the chips in play with 90 big blinds.

The first hand of the final table’s Day 2 was a giant pot between Lamb and Staszko. There was a series of raises preflop, and finally Staszko was all-in with 77 against Lamb’s KJ. Lamb lost the big coinflip and was finished off by Staszko’s JJ just a few hands later. While Lamb was the 2011 WSOP Player of the Year, he had to settle for a disappointing third place in the Main Event.

Heads-up play finally began, and no one could have guessed the epic battle that was in store: 120 hands, 6 hours of play, and numerous lead changes. Staszko began heads-up play with a small chip lead but that was taken away Heinz just five hands into it.

For the first 30 hands or so Heinz maintained a small lead until Staszko ran a massive bluff to gain the chip lead. Heinz battled back with relentless aggression and regained the chip lead within another 30 hands. However, less than 15 hands later Staszko laid claim to the chip lead once again. Have you ever played a heads-up match like this on the Bodog Poker download?

This is where Staszko kept the longest chip lead of the heads-up encounter. With a combination of solid play and well-timed hands, he grinded Heinz down to 25 big blinds. Soon after having his lowest stack of the final table, however, Heinz started an epic run which culminated in the biggest pot of the tournament.

On a T7K flop with two clubs, Staszko and Heinz got in over 160 million chips with the blinds at 1,200,000/2,400,000 with a 300k ante. Staszko held the Q9 of clubs while Heinz had AQ of hearts. Heinz had a narrow lead but was able to hold on the turn and river for the game changing pot.

Just 8 hands later it was all over. Staszko jammed his last 39.5 million on the button and was met with a quick call by Heinz. Staszko would be live with his T7 of clubs against Heinz’s AK offsuit. The twenty two year old Heinz held in the most important pot of his life and became the first German WSOP Main Event champion ever. Staszko did the Czech Republic proud with his equally impressive runner up finish.
