It is yesterday that was the challenge poker between Team PokerStars (Haxton, Negreanu, Elky) and team Full Tilt Poker (durrrr, isildur1, Gus Hansen) and is now a record time!
Each player should play 3 heads-up sit' n'go against his opponent. Note that the parties were taking place online at Full Tilt Poker, but the players were physically in the same room!
Following duels took place:
Elky vs Isildur1
Without a doubt, Isildur1 was favorite to this duel, which is probably the most formidable heads up player. Starting stacks were 3,000 chips and Isildur1 did not time to lose its first buy-in then that he was all-in on the flop with a draw in the straight while Elky had already flopé a straight.
In another match, Elky won the match with his AK vs the Isildur1 KT on K55. A victory that had to be very satisfactory for Elky.
durrrr vs Haxton
Tom Dwan is the only player of the FTP team to have won 1 game against the Team PokerStars. He won a match when he was all-in on the flop with overcards 2 plus a flush draw against top pair of Haxton. Durrrr struck one of its many outs and won the 2 match against Haxton to equalize. In the last match, durrrr undergoes a cooler while shortstack and there AJs. All his chips went in the middle of the table and Haxton was not difficult with a pair of ACEs preflop decision.
Speaking of Tom Dwan, he said last that its challenge against jungleman12 would soon (PokerCollectif will give you the details soon) resume and that it intends to leave the poker within 10 years.
Negreanu vs Hansen
The initiators of the duel. Gus Hansen was a lot of pressure before starting to play. One, it was he who had defied Negreanu and two, his team had not been impressive so far. Unfortunately for Gus, things were not on his side, he who has lost 3 matches via cooler and suckout. During a major pot, Gus is all-in with Q9 vs 89 on 9xx and eats a hard blow when he discovers an 8 on the turn. Later, it is all-in with JJ while Negreanu KK. In the 3rd and final game, Gus is in trouble, decided to push all-in with J9 and is caller by the AK of Negreanu, who wins his 3rd match.
8-1 for Team PokerStars win!
