Amsterdam Masterclassics Final Table - Interactive

[Djinn]

Well, we're still waiting for the restart here - if the precious chip counts don't materialise I am going to go see if I can get even more precious access to the Final Table itself to count them myself.

This place is absolutely heaving now, and the queues to get in are growing ever longer.  The little tent for the press feels luxurious as we can sit down and not have drinks spilled on us or anything.

[Djinn]

OK, here's the best I can manage, with a little help from JJ, who says, "I'm probably more relaxed now than I've ever been.  I'm playing cards with four players and a lot of chips."  I admire the simplicity of the statement.

Anyway, the chips are roughly:

JJ Hazan       780,000
Keith Hawkins  130,000
Jan Sjavik        550,000
Alex Jalali Abadi  The Rest (1,800,000 or so)

[Djinn]

Looks like they're just waiting on Keith now... the announcer repeating, "Mr. Keiththecamel Hawkins, please make your way to the final table."

'Sete' meaning seat, and 'UTE' meaning out.. from norsemen..

Was just wondering where all the banter was.

I was reading the "at a glance" thread.

I feel silly.

[Djinn]

New blinds - 10k/20k, ante 3k.

After the four days' snail-like increases, these seem to have taken off somewhat - going to be a bit of pressure on Keith now.

Alex raises to 70k, no callers.

then

Keith moves in preflop, no callers.

then

Keith moves in preflop (now 148k), and Jan Sjavik calls...

The Camel shows: 
Jan shows: 

Flop: 
Turn: 
River: 

And cries of "sick sick sick" mingle with happy shouts of Jan supporters - it was all-in preflop after all - and with that unnecessarily dramatic hand,

Keith 'The Camel' Hawkins exits in 4th place, winning €112,125

[Jamier-Host]

Well done Keith - nice result.

Top work as always Jen

[b4matt]

GREAT EFFORT KEITH.

It;s still a massive result although i know you'll be dissapointed.

[HornswaggleU]

well played keith ,it wont be the first or last bad beat youve had ,desperate m8 ul.

not taking away from the result

however, KT v 44 allin pf is not a bad beat, its a race, doesn't matter what order the cards come out, though
I'm sure it added to the drama, its not a bad beat.

JJ raises preflop to 45k, Alex takes a peek at the flop (which I, sadly, did not), and passes to a bet.

Then it's Alex's turn again - raising to 80k from the small blind (button Jan folded) and JJ comes over the top to the tune of 200k.  It looked like he might have wanted to put more in, at the expense of some kind of string action, but I can't be sure... anyway, a flop, when Alex called:

  Alex checks, JJ bets just 100k.  A quick fold.

Compared to some earlier hands, it's going lightning-fast at the moment.  I wonder if they all had a lot of coffee in the dinner break.
