Scott22Champ started slow, but built his stack continuously by dishing-out some coolers and avoiding traps and mistakes. The previous top 3 point leaders (TLS33, Godel and DeckHole) were the first ones ejected from the 5-Card Draw event, setting the stage for the rest of the field to catch up and Mag Kirwin to leap ahead. Meanwhile, Hoffman got off to a very fast start, collecting the fast-break, while Jean (the assassin) knocked out Sumner for one of the two bounties and Scott22Champ knocked out Godel, collecting both a bounty and a chip-n-chair bonus. Linux fought hard keeping his short stack in play into the money, while TimTheGreat finally leaped into 2nd place. While Mircra bubbled, the points he collected, puts him in the mix with 7 other players clustered near the top of the leader board. It is really still anyones Championship to win going into the last 3-quarters of the World Series of Gundam season.

Linux battled through both Hoffman (3rd place), who had a dominate chip-stack throughout most of the tournament, and S.Braswell (2nd place), who snapped into action once in the money. Godel took 4th, while M.Braswell bubbled. The fast break went to McClary while the Chip&Chair went to the younger M.Braswell.

The first International bracelet will be shipped outside the U.S. as Flopper (from Australia) takes down the 3-Game Mix and collecting the bounty on Tim-the-Great, and grinding down JeanGreen (winner of chip-n-chair bonus), who finished 2nd. Braswell senior (Scott) took 3rd place, while Mag-Kirwin made the money in 4th. There was little doubt that Braswell junior (Breezy) would get the Fast-Break having almost 2x more than 2nd place chip leader after the 1st break.

McClary has now won 40% of the 24′ WSOG Events. Embracing the torture of Razz, McClary fizzled out quickly before the re-entry period ended, but then came roaring back after a roller-coaster ride by many players. Jean “the assassin” Sudduth quickly disposed of Decker for the bounty and the Fast Break Bonus while Sumner fought from last place to the bubble earning the Chip&Chair bonus. But the main battle was fought in the 3-handed and heads-up final table. With Hoffman and McClary trading blows and the chip-lead will over a half-a-dozen times.

Decker book-ends both 4-Seat events, establishing himself as the current short-handed maestro. He won the NLHE 4-Seat bracelet and now has the PLO 4-Seat bracelet. He made a steady pace towards the finish, building his stack throughout the tournament. Some of the big-guns (McClary, M.Braswell) fell out early, leaving a path for victory if he could get past Godel, MagKirwin and S.Braswell (which he did in the final rounds.)

The bounty game heated up with SBraswell collecting 2 bounties in a single hand, giving him the fast-break bonus. However, SBraswell faded into the background with a perpetual short-stack, while McClary and SudduthM gained momentum in the middle of the tournament. During McClary’s rise to power, he doubled-up many short stacks in an amazing bad run of flips. SudduthM grabbed the chip-n-chair bonus ending up in 3rd place, while Decker bubbled in 4th. That’s when short-stack phenom SBraswell, passed both Decker and MSudduth to take on McClary heads-up. He managed to get the stacks even at several points, but ultimately fell to McClary.

Breezy battled Malarkey for a 1st place finish in the coveted Omaha Mix Game, spoiling Malarkey’s run at another bracelet. Godel finished 3rd while Linux didn’t get a chance to flex his Heads-Up abilities, getting knocked out in 4th. However, TimTheGreat’s bubble finished earned him an extra bonus point putting him 2 points ahead of DeckHole.

Meiresonne’s middle-sized stack lurked in the shadows for most the game, but as the bubble approached he started building his chip arsenal. Jean, who finished 2nd, had a huge chip lead throughout most of the tournament. But her stack gave way to pressure from S.Braswell (3rd place) and Meiresonne as the stacks eventually even out between the three players. This year’s bubble-boy (M.Sudduth) again finished on the button with Sumner taking 4th.
