This is going to be a short post and is a trial since this is the first time I have covered a Sit and Go tournament. Greg Raymer went up against 24242 in a No Limit Hold-em, turbo, heads-up, 2 player, sit and go (phew, thats a mouthful). The buy-in was $1,100+$30.
The event started at 20:56ET and ended at 21:00ET. So…one of them dropped $1,130 in 4 minutes of poker play.
I started watching at 20:56:05 so I would like to think I saw all of the hands and there were 19 of them. 2 hands were above the blinds of 40.
There was a hand that was 160 which had Greg Raymer betting after the flop (40) and river (80). 24242 called both times and lost when Raymer showed two pair (Tens and Fours).
The event the ended the game was a hand where after the whole cards Raymer raised from 20 to 40 and was then re-raised another 100 which Raymer called. The flop was [Kh Qd 4d] and 24242 bet 200 and Raymer went over the top all-in which 24242 called right away. They flipped over their cards and Greg Raymer had pocket aces while 24242 had AK. The turn was a 3c and river a tc not improving 24242 and Raymer won the hand and left with a “gg”.
