Wahlbeck konnte sich diese Woche bereits ein schönes Preisgeld für den Platz 3 beim Event 6 – USD 10,000 World Championship Seven Card Stud holen.

Bei der Siegerhand ging Runner Up David Chiu bei einer Omaha-8 Runde preflop mit A [key:card_clubs] 5 [key:card_clubs] 9 [key:card_diamonds] 10 [key:card_spades] all in, Wahlbeck callte mit A [key:card_diamonds] Q [key:card_diamonds] 8 [key:card_diamonds] 8 [key:card_spades]. Der Flop mit J [key:card_spades] J [key:card_clubs] 5 [key:card_hearts] sah gut für Wahlbeck aus, doch am Turn 10 [key:card_diamonds] übernahm Chiu wieder die Führung. Am River änderte sich alles als der K [key:card_clubs] kam, dieser bescherte Wahlbeck die Strasse und somit den Turniersieg. David Chiu erhielt für Platz 2 USD 304,176. Der letzte der vor dem Finaltisch ausschied war Allie Prescott auf Platz 9 bei einer Razz Runde gegen Matt Dorin, er erhielt dafür USD 42,818.

Platz 4 mit $ 139,159 ging an Mark Gregorich, welcher bei einer 2-7 Triple Draw Runde gegen Scott Dorin all in ging. Beim ersten Kartentausch nahmen beide Spieler jeweils 2 Karten, beim zweiten nahm Dorin 2 und Gregorich 1 Karte. Beim dritten Kartentausch blieb Dorin stehen und Gregorich nahm 1 Karte. Gregorich’s Hand T-8-5-3-2 war nicht gut genug für Dorin’s der 8-6-5-4-2 hatte. Scott Dorin war der nächste, er schied auf Platz 3 aus und erhielt dafür USD 199,940. Bei einer 2-7 Triple Draw Runde raiste er vom Button aus, Ville Wahlbeck machte einen Three- Bet, Dorin spielte seine letzten Chips und Wahlbeck callte. Beim ersten Kartentausch nahm Wahlbeck 2 und Dorin 1 Karte. Beim zweiten nahmen beide Spieler jeweils eine Karte und beim dritten Kartentausch keine. Wahlbeck zeigte 7-6-4-3-2, Dorin’s 9er Low war dagegen chancenlos und somit musste er sich vom Turnier verabschieden..
