Entries 72/ Left 40
It is hard not to think that, in a way, someone is holding the reins of destiny and arbitrarily deciding whether to pull one way or the other. We are referring to the hand that sent Wuttipong Favre into orbit in the count with two eliminations to go on the Day.
Before going into the details, though, let's recap the numbers: the 52 qualifiers from Day 2A are joined by another 40 players from Day 2 B, which just finished, making a total of 92 players sure to participate in Day 3 following Monday.
And now let's return to the hand in question, which pits Andreas Fröhli, chip leader at the table, against Wuttipong Favre. The hand in a nutshell: Fröhli decided to cold 4-bet 22BB (we're a T12K), Wuttipong Favre 5-bet jammed with A♦️ K♥️, and Fröhli, after a few considerations, decided to make the call for 67BB effective with A♥️ Q♥️.
The flop K♦️ 9♥️ J♥️ gave Fröhli (pic below) plenty of outs, but he was unable to eliminate his opponent due to a K♠️ and a 6♠️ between Turn and River. Thanks to this showdown, Wuttipong Favre took the lead and remained there until the close of the Day.
Why did we talk about destiny at the beginning? Because the two found themselves fighting, albeit at two different tables, for the chip leading at Day1 D when 5,000 was up for grabs.
On that occasion, Fröhli, with a 3-bet bluff that went in on the penultimate hand, overpowered Wuttipong Favre by a handful of blinds and secured first place. It is most curious that the most crucial hand of Day 2 featured the two players mentioned above.
"The hand against Fröhli? - says Favre warmly - Impossible to fold; I think the shove is the best move even though we were two outs away from the bubble. I am very happy with my tournament. Day 1 went very well. Today, I was card-dead for a few hours, but at the end of the day, I can't complain about my stack! In poker, it's not how much you start with but how many chips you finish with.
I'm not a professional, but I love live poker, and this tournament was the ideal opportunity to play a little here, as several of my friends also came. Besides, I love this casino: it's spacious, the organization is impeccable, and the service is excellent!"
