Bristol St. Classic XIV - Results!
Last week, the Bristol Street Nightclub and Casino held the 14th Classic Event. The final table proved an interesting mix of past Champions and new players!
The hand that busted out the 9th place finished also busted out a second player so the final table was formed with onyl 7 players, 5 of which would share in a prize pool worth...
TENS OF DOLLARS!!! (Ok, ok, fine... hundreds of dollars)
FINAL TABLE
Seat 1: "Splinter" Aaron $2,900
Seat 2: "Oragami" Jonathan C. $9,125
Seat 3: "Zithal" Rob L. $5,125
Seat 4: "Slippery" Pete A. $4,725
Seat 5: Ryan H. $8,200
Seat 6: Kevin $4,100
Seat 7: "Wolfhound" Dave $4,025
7th PLACE : "Zithal" Rob L.
Once play began at the final table, UBER-TIGHT was the name of the game.
For nearly 50 minutes play was tight and the chips kept travelling around to different players, with most stacks going up and down by little chunks.
Kevin then switched gears and started making a series of All-in moves to steal a large number of blinds giving him a sizable chip position. In one rotation, he made the same move a number of times in a row and was finally called by Rob on the Small Blind with KQd.
The move was a perfect one on Kevin's part as he turned over AKo. No help came for Rob and he was outsted in 7th place giving Kevin a sizeable chip lead.
6th PLACE : Ryan H. (Bubble-boy!)
Ryan making his own move with a dwindling stack moved all in with J7o getting called by Kevin who held J8d. The flush came and Kevin knocked out a second previous Bristol Street Champion, leaving "Slippery" Pete A as the last remaining former champion at the table.
5th PLACE : "Splinter" Aaron ($20)
Playing in his first Bristol Street Event, Aaron found himself all in, aith AJo against "Slippery" Pete's KQ. A queen on the flop sealing Aaron's doom, but congradluations are in order for an excellent finish to his first event.
4th PLACE : "Oragami" Jonathan C. ($35)
After obtaining a massive chip-lead over a few well timed suckouts leading up to the final table, Karma reared it's ugly head and turned the tables on Jonathan and a bad beat (which I can't recall) took a good portion of his stack away. In the final hand, Jonathan's 88 was up against a pair of Queens and with no help coming, Jonathan was out in 4th. Congrats to Jonathan for a excellent tournament and to making it in the money again!
3rd PLACE : Kevin ($55)
His series of aggressive plays had to eventually catch up with him and it did. Had I remembered to write down the details of his outsting this would be a much better tournament report but, alas, I did not. SORRY!!!!
With Kevin's elimination we were now...
HEADS UP
"Slippery" Pete A. $17,000
"Wolfhound" Dave $20,000
The numbers are approximate, but I believe that Dave has a small edge over Peter going into the final few hands.
The second last hand was the one that changed the game as Dave went all-in with A7o and ran head first into Peter who woke up with AA. This crippled Dave's stack and he lost the next hand, QJ v QT unimproved to give first place, $165 and the Title of Bristol Street Classic XIV Champion to "Slippery" Pete, becoming only the second repeat champion in the Classic series of tournaments.
For his troubles, "Wolfhound" ended the tournament with a payday of $95. And outstanding end to Dave's first Bristol Street appearance!
Peter played a cautious game claiming to never have a hand better than trips the whole night. He attributed his win to playing patient and picking his spots carefully.
Other notable results:
- The Curse of Bristol Street lives on as the BSC XIII Champion, John A. was outsted in 23rd spot.
- If the theme of XIII was bad beats, the theme of this tournament was AK v. KQ; a confrontation which appeared throughout the night, going either way several times. In fact, our 2nd place finisher survived an all-in AK v. KQ when a Q hit the flop (or was it the river?)

I think going into heads up I had a slight chip lead but Dave was slowly taking it away blind by blind. I was getting concerned that he was reading me too well as he folded just about every good hand I had and stole the blinds on the rest. I just about died when I saw the pocket aces. I figured this was going to be another one of his quick folds. Lucky for me he had a reasonably good hand.
"Slippery" Pete aka two-seven aka SkittleHead
I think Pete is right that he did have a slight chip lead when we got to heads up.
I'm not sure how good of a read i was getting on Pete, but, i did see some above average
hands once we were heads up.
The A9 vs AA beating I took left me with only ~4000 in chips...so, Q10 seemed as good as any to push with.
Congrats again Pete on your second Bristol title. Hope to make it on the list for Bristol 15!!!!
