Spoiler Alert!! (seriously…)

Here is the final hand from the 2007 Winter Poker Open at the Borgata in Atlantic City. The final table played out yesterday but the episode probably won’t be aired on the WPT until April or May.


Chuck Kelley
vs. John Hennigan
John Hennigan

From Cardplayer.com :

Kelley raises to $550,000 and Hennigan makes the call. The flop comes 7s -3d – 3s and Hennigan checks. Kelley bets $700,000 and Hennigan makes the call. The turn is the Ah and Hennigan checks. Kelley bets $700,000 again and Hennigan again calls. Kelley accidentally exposes his hand of Qh – 7h. The hand is declared live and the river is the 3h. Hennigan moves all in and Kelley makes the call. Hennigan shows the Ac – 5h for a better full house and wins the pot.

Chuck Kelley finishes the tournament in 2nd place and earns $849,082.

John Hennigan wins the Borgata Winter Open, an entry into the WPT Championship and $1,606,223.

That is pretty awesome. If I am in Kelley’s position here I don’t know if I could fold. If you fold to his bet and he shows a bluff it would be incredibly embarrassing. Big ups to Hennigan.

6 people care

  1. that is bizarre…

    poop-brown looks good with lighter shades of blue, if you want to pick an accent color.

  2. Is there a shade of brown that isn’t ‘poop’ brown? It is pretty much just plain ol’ brown, right?

  3. The left hand side of the frame is being cut off for me. For instance the T in “that is pretty awesome” is missing as well as the L in “Leave a Reply”

  4. also yes I have tickets. I flyout of O’Hare at 6:40 on Thursday the 16th and its non-stop to Vegas. I fly home 6:15pm Monday. Any luck on scoring me a ticket to the bball or will I have to play a marathon card session when you guys are gone?

  5. 1) dont use internet explorer.

    2) no extra tix to jam session. it should only be a few hours though so nbd. you could always just bring your BURNING CRUSADE install and eat elderberries or forge mythril armor or whatever it is that you nerds do.

  6. son of a…gambling it is then
